Slaves Blu-ray Limited Slipcover Edition
Also known as Swedish Nympho Slaves (aka Die Sklavinnen), Jess Franco's Slaves stars the director's wife and muse, the inimitable Lina Romay (Doriana Gray, Rolls Royce Baby) in a rare villainous role as Madame Arminda, the owner of a notorious high end brothel called The Pagoda, who oversees the kidnapping and sexual torture and humiliation of a young society girl (Martine Stedil, Barbed Wire Dolls). When the girl’s father pays the ransom but doesn’t get his daughter back, he and his nasty manservant (played by Franco himself) raid The Pagoda and enslave Arminda, subjecting her to untold indignities while trying to find out what happened to his child.
As with all of Franco's collaborations with producer Erwin C. Dietrich, Slaves packs a sleazy wallop but its grimy doses of sex and violence are juxtaposed by rich production values, gorgeous cinematography by Peter Baumgartner and lush music by Walter Baumgartner. Filled with salacious deeds and bolstered by Romay’s intense performance, Slaves is classic piece of Franco-philia that needs to be seen and Delirium Home Video is thrilled to be presenting the picture here totally uncut and gorgeously remastered in high-definition.
