Vintage Erotica anno 1950

This collection of extended 15-minute films were intended for private viewing in the back room of stores, in homes, and at local brothels. The themes of these films are bondage and burlesque; images similar to those produced by Irving Klaw in the U.S. The main difference being that in France the filmmakers show on-camera sex, and nudity.

VINTAGE EROTICA ANNO 1950 20 Years before the rise of 1970's hardcore films in the U.S., the commercial pornography produced by the French unleashed a new era of Erotic Cinema. Suddenly, unlike the common "stag" films of the time, scripts, multiple camera angles, and title credits were introduced into erotic productions. These extended 15-minute films were intended for private viewing in the back rooms of stores, in homes, and at local brothels. The themes of many of these films were bondage and burlesque; images similar to those produced by Irving Klaw in the U.S. The main difference being that in France the filmmakers would show on-camera sex, and nudity. These films stand out, not only for being ahead of their time, but because they transcend the standards of much of what is being produced today.
