CultFilms Presents the 4K Restoration of Marco Ferreri’s THE APE WOMAN on Blu-ray & Digital (UK / 11 October)

16th September 2021Ken Wynne

From Marco Ferreri, perhaps best known for the wildly sensational satire La Grande Bouffe, CultFilms is proud to present one of the director’s earliest and most controversial films, The Ape Woman (1964). Deemed too challenging for the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, an alternative ‘happy’ ending was created for the festival that eventually went on to pick up a Palme d’Or nomination that year. For this world first ever Blu-ray release, CultFilms presents Ferreri’s own original edit now shown complete and uncut.

“No other woman looked like her, felt like her, loved like her…”

CultFilms presents Isabelle Adjani in ONE DEADLY SUMMER on Dual Format Blu-ray/DVD 29 July

12th July 2019Ken Wynne

With more Cesar Awards to her name than any other French actor and a host of Academy Award nominations, Isabelle Adjani is perhaps the most celebrated French screen star of all time. In 1983 she hit a career defining high, in Jean Becker’s much-lauded crime classic One Deadly Summer (L’Été meurtrier), a potent blend of neo-noir and erotic thriller that picked up four Cesar Awards including Best Actress for Adjani.

“What do you want? To find out which of the bastards was your father?”
