When she suddenly took the world by storm in the provocative French smash Emmanuelle directed by Just Jaeckin, Dutch-born actress and model Sylvia Kristel became not only a household name but an elegant softcore alternative to the porno chic craze.
Though she would go on to reprise the role numerous times, Kristel also used the film's success to take on roles for a number of notable European directors while also turning up in some very unexpected places, such as Universal's The Concorde: Airport '79 and The Nude Bomb. With Kristel's films in frequent play on cable TV well into the early '90s, almost anything with her name proved marketable on VHS as well -- even earlier titles like the Dutch pseudo-giallo Because of the Cats.
Saluting Kristel's 1970s roles well outside of her Emmanuelle persona is the 2022 separate Blu-ray and DVD sets from Cult Epics, the Sylvia Kristel 1970s Collection, timed to coincide with a biography of the star written by Jeremy Richey, who's also one of the participants in the numerous special features.
This four-disc set contains four films starring the Dutch cinema Icon Sylvia Kristel. The four films included are incredibly different, ranging from serious period romance to sex comedy.
