Did a search both with and without accents and only turned up result so why not an enire José Bénazéraf thread? I've been on a bit of a Bénazéraf kick as of late which just as with José Ramí³n Larraz has consisted of mostly boots. I know K-Films released several of Bénazéraf's films on DVD in France a few years ago and there other French DVD from different companies but much of his work is in dire need of COMPLETE, English friendly releases. His early stuff at least before he became a full on porn director, although ironically some of his 80's porno's are on Amazon.
As far as I can tell the only fully uncut English friendly DVD release for any of his films is Sexus (La Nuit Plus La Longue, 1965). I know Something Weird sells a DVD-R of the English dubbed version of his debut film L'éternité pour nous (1963) as Sin On The Beach which runs about 25 minutes shorter than its full French version and Le concerto de la peur (1963) was released as Night of Lust as a butchered 58 minute re-edit. Frustrating to say the least.
Speaking of frustrating, Frustration (1971) is one of the best films to come from the golden age of Euro erotica/horror, defiantly his masterpiece if you ask me. Janine Reynaud gives what has to be her best performance. I've watched it 3 times in the past few months. I've always loved it but its quickly becoming one of my favorite films.
