SHAM302 - SHAMELESS POP EROTICA BOX-SET

Unwind with Shameless!

Shameless proudly announces a collection of Cult cinema's most iconic sexy films - Venus In Furs, The Frightened Woman and Baba Yaga - these will be presented in Shameless’ new strand of videotape-themed nostalgia collector's box-sets.

The third in the series of “Shameless-Unwind” videotape-themed box-set, this is the unmissable POP EROTICA BOX-SET!

Stylish, imaginative and deliciously twisted, these three cult classics reveal the darker side of passion, love and sex.. Inspired by eclectic masterpieces, from the erotic literary genius of Leopold Sacher-Masoch’s Venus In Furs, to Guido Crepax’s arousing iconic comic strip Baba Yaga, via the far-out sets of Niki De Saint Phalle in The Frightened Woman, this Erotic Pop Fest also features some of cinema’s most alluring leading ladies - think Dagmar Lassander, Laura Antonelli ! - caught up in increasingly bizarre and dangerous sex games…

Shameless’ Pop Erotica Box will be presented with specially commissioned artwork from a top British artist emphasizing the videotape-shaped boxset - this time a V2000 ! … remember those ??!

The Shameless Pop Erotica Box Set will be released on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment on 23 July 2012.

Will the re-releases never end? Ah well, they're ok I suppose, for those who don't already own the films.

My thoughts exactly. I don't mind as such since I'm just not going to be something for the packaging when I already own the films but they are a good cost-effective way of people getting the films


That said, I'm really dying for a brand new release.

You and me both! Like it's been said, this is a great way for the newbies to collect shameless but for those of us who've been collecting since day 1 it's a bit of a let down that shameless seem to spend more time these days repackaging old titles instead of concentrating their efforts on releasing great new titles. Still, I love Shameless and I'm sure they're beavering away as I type to get ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS ready for a fine release (if only!)...

Totally agree with all that's been said. These re-releases look gorgeous and so retro. I'm guessing that perhaps with these box sets, Shameless will be able to afford some more cult gems.

Although it isn't, it seems ages since Shameless have released something new. Until there is an announcement of a new film, I don't mind these boxsets as they are extremely stylish and, as you say, are great for those who don't own the individual releases.

It's extremely unlikely the disc will be different from the one released at the end of 2007, so yes.

Quite right, Nos. Double checked this with Shameless and it will be the same version already released.
