Press Quotes
For fans of 1970s thrillers with a strong dose of the sexual, this classy release from Cult Epics is a must-own. Another tremendously strong aspect of Madame Claude is its original score by the legendary Serge Gainsbourg. Gainsbourg's libidinous music for this film can function as a work unto itself, though it integrates perfectly into the film, functioning to pull together the otherwise disparate elements of the political thriller and the numerous gauzy, very 1970s erotic interludes.
—Jim Tudor, Zeke Film
Just Jaeckin explores his versatility by acclimatizing familiarity with new horizons surrounding brothel delights with shadow games and the new 4K Blu-ray from Cult Epics is the one, and only way to experience it all in Madame Claude.
—Steven Lewis, It's Bloggin Evil
I rather enjoyed the film, it's super-stylish, very sexy and fun...
—Kenneth Kastenhuber, McBastards Maudoleum
Cult Epics has done a great job bringing this underappreciated entry in the director's filmography to Blu-ray with a strong presentation and a nice array of supplements.
—Ian Jane, Rock Shock Pop
Loaded with sex scenes that tend to pop up every few minutes... popular soundtrack by pop icon Serge Gainsbourg (including a hit theme song, 'Yesterday, Yes a Day' by his companion and muse, Jane Birkin.)
