No one will ever make movies like Doris Wishman made movies. One of the most prolific women filmmakers in the history of American cinema, writer-director-editor Wishman created collisions between surrealism and exploitation that feel like they materialized from an alternate universe. THE FILMS OF DORIS WISHMAN: THE MOONLIGHT YEARS surveys the mid-period, gutter-noir era of Wishman’s career. From BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL (Wishman’s iconic crime epic) to INDECENT DESIRES (a horror-tinged sexploitation mindwarp), AGFA + Something Weird are honored to present these triumphant DIY treasures in sparkling new restorations. |

NOTE:
The below
Blu-ray
captures were taken directly from the
Blu-ray
disc.
NOTE: Doris Wishman is credited as co-director of the Greek production Hot Month of August because she re-edited the movie for the U.S. market, adding several soft-core sex scenes without the knowledge or participation of director Sokrates Kapsaskis. The version in this release was the only version of the film ever released in the US. This probably looks the best in the package.
Another Greek film Pyretos - was
purchased by Wishman although she supposedly lost the dialogue translation.
Once again she re-edited, adding nudity as well as new (DUB'ed) dialogue.
This is part of the 'Moonlight Years' set as Passion Fever.
On their
Blu-ray,
AGFA use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. They all seem to have obvious post-DUBing and
no credited scores aside from Hot Month of August music is
credited to Stavros Xarhakos (worked on the soundtrack of Woody Allen's
Mighty Aphrodite.) The sound may be a notch lower than the HD
video, but simply a function of the low-budget productions. It's all
audible. AGFA offer optional English subtitles on their
Region FREE
Blu-ray.
The AGFA
Blu-ray Doris Wishman's films here in this package have aspects of BDSM, fetishism, assault, abuse, alcoholism, objectification, stolen innocence etc. and we can see the same actors, same sets (occasionally Doris Wishman's apartment), heavy eye-make-up and bulky lingerie throughout. They are easily categorized as sexploitation and soft-to-harder pornography of which Wishman is considered to be a pioneer. Antiobscenity laws prohibited the showing of many of her films for decades. So AGFA's The Films of Doris Wishman: The Moonlight Years triple Blu-ray set is a continuation of the first package; The Films of Doris Wishman: The Twilight Years on Blu-ray although these are earlier films - where she is often credit as "Louis Silverman". I imagine these being popular at bachelor stags at some point and they retain historical significance as a kind of genre time-capsule. They can engender a kitschy-ness and the set is recommended to a minute niche - who, like The Twilight Years set, probably already know who they are. I can't imagine anyone doing a more complete set - and these do have the commentaries as worthwhile supplements. |
