Jess Franco's surreal, sexually explicit riff on the famous Oscar Wilde story features his main muse, the gorgeous Lina Romay (ROLLS ROYCE BABY), in one of her most powerful and raw performances. Romay stars as vampiric aristocrat Doriana Gray, a fluid-drinking succubus who shares a strange bond with her sexually voracious twin sister. It seems that when one woman feels aroused, the other sibling experiences every sensation, a phenomenon that is illustrated in shocking, salacious detail when a sexy young reporter comes to call...
Full of hypnotic imagery, dreamy music and dynamic supporting turns from frequent Franco collaborator Monica Swinn, DORIANA GRAY (aka MARQUISE DE SADE) is a highlight of the director's '70s output and one of the finest of his pictures made for Swiss exploitation mogul Erwin C. Dietrich.

"Really liked this one, it's a visual feast for a fan of Lina Romay, and the other women appearing (particularly Martine Stedil) are very beautiful and sexy as well. I'm a long time fan of Jess Franco's work, and Lina Romay in particular appeals to me. I love her exhibitionist nature, which is a treat for an old voyeur like me to behold."
"Never heard of seen this before, was cool to see Delirium Home Video become a partner labels. The quality of the slipcover is nothing short of amazing, I got confused because raro put out Doria Gray on Blu-ray too and that it was the same movie but just the title is the same!"
"A slow burn, glossy and atmospheric sexy flick featuring none other than the luscious Lina Romay and the Franco friends we've seen in his movies from this timeline. Franco always finds the most captivating and interesting locations for his movies. Especially his skin flicks. The mansion in this film is a trip to behold. Recommended mainly for Franco enthusiasts & collectors."
"Nice quality release of a Jess Franco classic that’s been elusive on HD in this country. Hopefully more solid releases are on the way from Delirium."
"Excellent release of one of Franco’s best, beautiful slipcover art, very nice to have the feature in its hard and soft core versions. Some of the greatest Lina Romay performances ever put to celluloid. It would be nice to have had the French and German dubs included but having the German on the soft core version (which I prefer) works out. In fact the us dub is pretty funny and dissociative which is perfect for a Franco film. Hopefully these Franco blu rays keep on coming!"
"Love the artwork on the cover! I'm a suckered! The quality is great and the story is good 10/10"
"Another Jess Franco film filled with odd cuts, uncomfortable zooms, semi-in-focus shots, and lots of pretentious meandering. This is accompanied by tons of narration that sounds like it’s saying something…With that all said, everything is strangely hypnotic. Lead actress gives a great, and at times unhinged performance. Transfer is top notch!"
"Having never seen the film before, the story is pretty good and probably would have stood on its own based on the dynamic between Doriana and her sister but what would a Jess Franco be without explicit sex. The Blu Ray transfer looks fantastic."
"I’d die happy if Lina Romay killed me in a castle exactly like this. The slipcover is gorgeous and makes up for a slightly lackluster blu-ray insert. Franco is my hero."
"My favorite Jess Franco film remastered In all it's glory! The transfer is amazing, the painted cover art on the slip case is top notch, and an awesome commentary track full of great information."
