Pierre Unia, renowned filmmaker and composer, embraced hardcore cinema as soon as it was legalized in France in 1975. He directed CANDICE CANDY, an international success starring Béatrice Harnois (Pussy Talk) and Sylvia Bourdon (Exhibition 2). In 1976, he followed up with a more ambitious film, L'ENLÈVEMENT DES SABINES, a big-budget comedy with cult actresses Danièle Troger, Véronique Maugarski and Pamela Standford and a cameo from singer and composer Laurent Voulzy, a few months before his first gold record, Rockollection. For the first time on blu-ray, Pulse Video offers you two emblematic works from the early days of the golden age of French X, in their full versions, never before distributed on video.

"Quality restoration on two mid 70s title from France. I was unaware of what to expect, and am pleasantly surprised with the production of the day and how restoration enhances the overall package (some great looking women in these). Nice extras for each title (being alternate takes/footage). Happy with this very nice offering of 70s adult from France."
"Candice Candy / L’Enlèvement des Sabines is an interesting double feature that highlights the variety found in European adult cinema of the late 70s and early 80s. While the films differ in tone, they complement each other well and offer a fascinating look at the period’s filmmaking style. The cast brings plenty of personality to both films, helping them feel more engaging than their premises alone might suggest. The performances fit the playful, period-specific tone and contribute to the overall charm. The restoration is impressive, preserving the films’ original appearance while delivering cleaner detail, stable colors, and a noticeably improved viewing experience. The transfers respect the source material without feeling overly processed. The overall presentation is equally strong. From the packaging to the technical quality, everything feels thoughtfully assembled and aimed at collectors who appreciate boutique releases. Overall, this is a well-curated edition that combines strong restorations with attractive presentation, making it a worthwhile addition for fans of vintage European cinema."
"Enjoyable double feature for fans of French vintage erotica. Pulse Video does a great job restoring and presenting these."
"It's an ok set. Nothing spectacular or anything. . . these are just two run-of-the-mill X-rated French productions. Enjoyable for what they are. Some of the actresses are attractive, some aren't. The restorations are very good, and the extras include alternative sequences and cut scenes."
"The sound design on this collection is so good. I never thought I’d own smut that sounded this good! Lol"
"A pretty frothy French fancy. A lot of the score is for the catchy theme tune to Candice Candy. ". . . Sabines" threatens to go to a dark place but fortunately never does. Instead you get an always fun "girls about town" scene before the serious business of faux-rape erotic storytelling gets going. Maybe just try talking to them next time, boys."
"A joy to look at, sexy cast and some cool tunes in these two French 70s hardcore flicks from Pulse, who w need to hear more from, a great label and this release doesn’t disappoint."
"Two fascinating examinations of the conflicts over sexual freedom in 1970s France. The intrigues in Candice Candy are not quite enough to keep it interesting throughout, but it is worth a watch as a cross section of different attitudes toward sex (across generations, sexes, classes). Two scenes stood out to me: Liliane Allen and Richard Lemieuvre in front of a porn film, the projected images becoming an in-camera superimposition; and Sylvia Bourdon's manifesto for a sex-positive media, delivered in a lengthy monologue that feels exceptional for such a film. L'Enlèvement des Sabines is not just the better of these two films but a legitimately good one that needs no further qualification. The opening scene of seasonal grape harvesters has a documentary integrity that is of interest in itself, and grounds the narrative in a specific provincial milieu. The conflict between traditional patriarchal entitlements and modern sexual liberation is examined through each successive scene, making the culminating orgy feel both utopian and disquieting. It is the rare hardcore film that takes its premise seriously and follow through with its ideas!"
"Great double feature of French adult films. Good audio and video quality."
