PEEKARAMA presents the wildest, rarest, and most scandalous theatrical hardcore double features. Taking its name from one of the earliest "all action" sex theatre chains, each PEEKARAMA release presents two themed, full length feature films, both meticulously restored, thus giving you the opportunity to enjoy an old fashioned dirty movie double feature at home!
Alain Payet was one of the first, and most controversial, auteurs to take full advantage of France's legalization of hardcore sex in the cinema. Eschewing the superficial fluff pieces being directed by his peers, Payet's films delved into the strange and perverse underbelly of Parisian sex culture. Presented here are his two earliest hardcore ventures, both produced by frequent Jess Franco collaborator, Robert de Nesle.
Marie-Madeleine is a shopgirl who, at the persuasion of her lecherous boss, has begun exchanging sexual favors with the store's most affluent clientele. After being fired for refusing one of her customer's advances, she finds solace in a squalid bar, which turns out to be a haven for prostitutes. Deciding to try her hand at the profession once again, but this time on her own terms, Marie is quickly immersed into a world of increasingly debauched and hedonistic experiences which soon threaten to destroy her in body and soul. A fittingly seedy and well directed drama, FURIES SEXUELLES (aka Les Marie-Madeleine) is presented here in its totally uncensored original director's cut, completely unseen since 1976. (106 min)
Claudine and Martine are two young women who work as glamor models. But that's only a cover for their actual profession: high class call girls servicing the whims and hidden fantasies of Paris' high society. A virtual who's who of early French hardcore, PROSTITUTION CLANDESTINE stars Claudine Beccarie (Exhibition), Sylvia Bourdon (Pussy Talk), Pamela Stanford (Cannibal Terror), and many others and is presented totally uncut for the first time on video.

"A provocative and atmospheric slice of European exploitation cinema, presented here in excellent quality. The transfer looks sharp with natural grain and solid color reproduction, giving the film a much-needed upgrade over older editions. Audio is clear and faithful to the source. The packaging is attractive and collector-friendly, making this a worthwhile pickup for fans of vintage Euro cult films."
"Love this release and all of the French hardcore flicks VS have put out. Cool and classy double bill and we even get some beautiful Brigitte Lahaie on side B. Love it, keep em coming, please!"
"These are no masterpieces, but they are representative of what the X-rated French scene was in the 70s. Enjoyable mostly as a time capsule. The interview with Richard Allan in the extras is quite interesting."
"Furies Sexuelles / Prostitution Clandestine shows a rougher, more grounded side of 1970s French hardcore. Furies Sexuelles has a surprisingly bleak tone, framing sex as work rather than fantasy, while Prostitution Clandestine is more episodic and representative of the period. The Melusine restoration looks solid and keeps the films’ gritty texture intact. Best viewed as a historical document of theatrical adult cinema rather than straight exploitation."
"Love these films, they look great"
"Another European take,"
"Absolutely fantastic transfer"
"Another very nice release by Melusine. The slipcover looks and feels of quality construction. The whole presentation of the movie is well done. I love the reversible covers and the art is great! Shipping was safely and securing packed so no damaged incurred during transit. I’m looking to watching it soon!"
"Super old French Adultfilm"
"Really good transfer!"
