The biggest stars, best directors, and highest production values; that is a QUALITY X film. These deluxe Blu-ray editions of some of the genre's masterpieces, along with plenty of hidden gems, offer beautiful restorations and plentiful bonus features, all presented in homage to its namesake of esteemed New York film distributor, Mature Pictures, the company which almost single handedly raised the bar for outstanding sex films, and whose films will be included in this fittingly elegant collection.
After virginal teenybopper Joy is assaulted by a trio of burglars, she finds herself in an unexpected predicament: she wants more! Unsatisfied by her prudish and inexperienced boyfriend, Joy sets out across Manhattan to seduce any and every man she can find, while unwittingly setting into motion a wave of female sexual liberation that sends the entire city of New York into an orgiastic frenzy. With pleasure way up and crime way down, everyone is happy, except of course for the NYPD and stuck up Lt. Handcock, who becomes increasingly concerned that all of the carefree sex going on will put him out of a job…
A patently bizarre mix of raucous sex comedy and thoughtful commentary on contemporary mores, with hefty helping of “sticking it” to the man anti-authoritarianism, Joel Bender's (Gas Pump Girls) debut feature film, JOY, stars Sharon Mitchell (Maniac) in one of her first starring roles along with Crystal Sync (Punk Rock), Richard Bolla (Indecent Exposure), Jake Teague (A Woman’s Torment) and many others. Working from a witty and fast paced script co-authored by Bender, along with slick cinematography and tight editing, JOY is a witty, and unexpectedly heartfelt classic which makes its Blu-ray debut from Quality X, newly restored from its 35mm Interpositive and including a comprehensive slate of exclusive interviews.

"Firstly The Re-Scanning of this is great its never looked to good and clear. The Pictures on the Bluray case are nice, the outer cardboard case is Great and fits with the others in my Collection. And I would definitely recommend it if your looking to add to your Melusine Collection."
"Great artwork and Slipcover. The movies are a hoot. This is also very hard to find."
"Hilarious adult feature. Quality transfer. Good blind buy. Sex scenes are very 70s"
"This film was a pleasant surprise with lots of bonus features. Wasn't sure what to expect given the cover, but this film is a great gem - worth grabbing a copy!"
"A truly overlooked gem of the period, headed by a wonderful cast giving it their best, and enjoying themselves at the same time. Almost an ode, or farewell, to the period of classic "roughies", and as such, a worthy addition to any collection of adult filth."
"Great slipcover and transfer, i enjoyed the movie."
"Joy follows a young woman exploring her sexuality through a series of encounters that gradually build her confidence and experiences. The Cast feels natural together and helps the interactions come across as more believable than usual. The Restoration is clean and improves the image and colors without changing the original look, while the Feature is simple and mostly episodic but still works thanks to its focus on the main character’s journey."
"Was a blind recommendation from a fan group and really delivered. Great one-liners, a proper movie with adult scenes."
"What do you get when you mix sexual violence, women's sexual liberation, comedy, and societal commentary? You get Joy. Sharon Mitchell is a gem in one of her first starring roles. Sharon and the rest of this fantastic cast take you on a romp of sexual exploration and raucousness throughout 1977 New York City."
"Goods cast extras. Super wild title definitely went above and beyond. The concept is crazy but overall super fun. Great transfer and slipcover as well. Video looked great and once again great special features that over performs other Boutique Labels."
