GIRLS WITHOUT SHAME aka SCHOOLGIRL HITCHHIKERS / JEUNES FILLES IMPUDIQUES (1973) - Blu-ray & 4K Release of Jean Rollin's Sexploitation Film

Girls Without Shame Aka Schoolgirl Hitchhikers 1973 New On Bluray And 4k

Product Description: Joëlle Cœur (The Demoniacs) and Gilda Arancio (Tender and Perverse Emanuelle) star in Girls Without Shame (Jeunes filles impudiques), Jean Rollin’s first foray into the world of titillating cinema, made under the pseudonym ‘Michel Gentil’.

Two curious young women, Monica (Cœur) and Jackie (Arancio), find an abandoned old house whilst out hiking. Retiring to bed, they soon find that the house is a hangout for a criminal gang who suspect them of stealing their loot...

Restored in 4K from the original negative, Girls Without Shame (aka Schoolgirl Hitchhikers) features a score by regular Rollin composer Pierre Raph (Requiem for a Vampire) and supporting turns by Willy Braque (Lips of Blood) and Rollin himself, and sees the director successfully transfer his signature images and themes to a new genre. This edition also includes a new restoration of Hubert Lacoudre’s rare 1972 short film Sexana, an salacious spin on Alice in Wonderland, also starring Cœur.
