Reviews
Finally picked it up
"I've been meaning to buy this to go along with my copy of The Cult Films of Marilyn Jess. Equally as good and I'm very pleased to own it."
Companion to the DVD
"Overall a very interesting and engaging read, although there are definitely some noticeable typos and bits that weren't translated from the French (the translation probably also explains why it reads a bit unnaturally in places). The organization is a bit confusing (it's not strictly chronological), and I wish there were a table of contents. However it does have a lot of sexy photos of Brigitte if that's what you're looking for."
Amazing book with beautiful photos
"This is an amazing book, full of beautiful, high quality erotic pictures of Bridgitt and interesting stories. Very high production quality, thick paper, hard cover. A perfect collector's book. Excellent value to price ratio. Highly recommend."
Great pictures of a beautiful actress!
"This is a beautiful book with good quality binding. Lots of interesting info. Unfortunately, there are many English language mistakes. The proofreading is poor quality."
Excellent book on Brigitte
"Fantastic book, better than expected. Loads of photos but also plenty of information on different parts of her career and on individual films. Well worth it."
The Cult Films of Brigitte Lahaie
"First off, let me say that the book is huge, enormous, and very heavy. You get a lot for your money but it may not fit in your bookcase. The paper quality is very good and the pages thick and sturdy. Its is mostly a photo-book and the colors are very bright but a lot of the pictures are too zoomed-in and therefore lacking in detail. As for the content itself it is brilliant. This isn't simply a biography of the legendary Brigitte Lahaie but a journey through the European exploitation cinema of the 70s and 80s through her most iconic movies. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase, since it was a lot better than I expected, and I recommend it to anyone that has even the slightest interest in vintage erotica and exploitation cinema."
Essential Overview of Major Eurocult Star
"Handsomely bound, profusely illustrated volume featuring an extensive exploration of the film work of Brigitte Lahaie. Presumably the definitive work on the subject for the foreseeable future."
I mean, c'mon!
"Is it great? YEAH! It's a book about Brigitte! Photography is suberp! And it is a great read. Isn't there a manko? YES! There is: no filmography. - I know, IMDB and Co., but this is a missed chance. - Buy this book! Who knows, how long it will be available. Only the french (and some cool guys in USA) will do this, in Germany/Austria, there will never be a book like this. Let's dive into the wonderful work and life of Brigitte!"
Great to deal with!
"Better than expected and the shipping was very fast!"
