Arrow is very keen to re-establish why people were calling Borowczyk the natural successor to Buñuel and Bresson and one of European cinema's great creative innovators forty years ago - an opinion that might seem baffling today, but this is largely because the overwhelming majority of the films on which such opinions were based have been almost impossible to see in even vaguely acceptable versions. (YouTube and Ubuweb rips from ancient VHS copies of already noticeably faded prints don't count!)
