Synopsis
Joëlle Cœur (The Demoniacs) and Gilda Arancio (Tender and Perverse Emanuelle) star in Girls
Without Shame (Jeunes filles impudiques), Jean Rollin’s first foray into the world of erotic cinema,
made under the pseudonym ‘Michel Gentil’.
Two curious young women, Monica (Cœur) and Jackie (Arancio), find an abandoned old house
whilst out hiking. Retiring to bed, they soon find that the house is a hangout for a criminal gang
who suspect them of stealing their loot...
Restored in 4K from the original negative, Girls Without Shame (aka Schoolgirl Hitchhikers)
features a score by regular Rollin composer Pierre Raph (Requiem for a Vampire) and supporting
turns by Willy Braque (Lips of Blood) and Rollin himself, and sees the director successfully transfer
his trademark images and themes to a new genre. This edition also includes a new restoration of
Hubert Lacoudre’s rare 1972 short film Sexana, an erotic spin on Alice in Wonderland, also starring
Cœur.
