Are these DVD-Rs illegal to sell?
Absolutely not! All movies we sell on eBay are believed to be in the public domain in the U.S., and are sold from one collector to another. No rights are given or implied. What we charge is the service of duplicating the disc, and of course our time in hunting down these rare titles in the best condition possible. If a particular title becomes commercially available via an established home video company, we must and will discontinue selling it immediately.

NANA (1970; Sweden/France; also known as Take Me Love Me; English-dubbed; widescreen; Region-free, plays in any dvd).  

This interpretation of Émile Zola's 1880 novel is still centered around a driven young woman who uses and destroys men in her quest for fame and fortune, while the characters and details have been substantially updated. Directed by Mac Ahlberg -- who kept American "art theatres" packed with steamy imports like I, A WOMAN and FANNY HILL -- the entire film is absolutely gorgeous, with garish color cinematography by Andréas Winding, exceptionally groovy production design (gotta love those revolving circular beds!) and wild costumes (remember when real men wore paisley shirts and ascots?)...

It opens at a fabulous nightclub happening, with our blonde title minx (Anna Gaël, from Radley Metzger's THERESE AND ISABELLE) making her on-stage debut, serenading the crowd in slinky, breast-baring attire. Effectively utilizing her innate sexuality, "common whore" Nana is soon the toast of the town -- celebrated by hip society, participating in topless photo shoots, twisting rich male admirers around her finger, and discarding them once they're tapped out.

Gaël succeeds in the role, constantly disrobing and making Nana's overpowering desirability believable, but she and the script/direction bring zero complexity to this man-eating sex kitten character. Thankfully, English actress Gillian Hills (who'd earlier appeared in BEAT GIRL, BLOWUP and THE OWL SERVICE) makes a delightful contribution as Nana's close friend Tina, with the two eventually sharing a quietly sensual bedroom sequence that casually slips into full-blown, '60s-style trippiness.  Also look for Danish starlet Helli Louise (Joe Sarno's DADDY, DARLING) as a regular at Nana's parties.

What makes this outing a standout are its lush visuals, as Ahlberg punctuates the film with Nana's spectacularly tacky musical numbers, often accompanied by scantily-clad male back-up dancers in loin cloths or leather chaps. FYI, it also has a slightly more upbeat ending than Zola's book, since Nana no longer dies horribly from smallpox.

>>NOTE: includes a very convincing insert scene you may have read about; it's well-matched to the rest of the film and is quite surprising. Rare to find this version!
