3.0 out of 5 stars The Films Are Classics, The Transfers Are Marginal, May 3 2005
By Payne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Radley Metzger Collection: Box Set 1 (DVD)
Own these films individually on DVD from Image Entertainment. Nice to have them in boxed sets like this though I must let Metzger fans know that the transfers from First Run are not as good as the Image versions. Where the Image versions are color saturated and sharp, the First Run transfers have murky, faded out color and soft pictures.

Still, for the price, these boxed sets aren't a bad buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated, but classic explorations of the human psyche, July 15 2009
By J. Preston - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Radley Metzger Collection: Box Set 1 (DVD)
I have had this set for about four years.

Radley Metzger was one of the first arthouse pioneers of explorations deep into human sexuality in the 1960's and 1970's.

I agree that by Holywood standards the sexual exploitation is mild. However, those viewing these films (especially Therese & Isabelle) soley for their titilating content are overlooking the deep psycho-sexual themes in these films.

Therese and Isabelle, for instance, is one of the classics that still guide women exploring their sexuality well into the twenty first century. It is a very, very tender portrayal of a young woman's coming of age, and, her deep needs for love and self-acceptance. (It is the only film adaptation of Violette LeDuc's candid and, for the time, sensational auto-biography of the same name).

Camille 2000 is a brilliant remake of Daniel Defoe's "Camille" set in 20th century Italian culture (for the 1960's and 1970's).

The "Alley Cats" is one of the first films that exposed, for modern audiences, the once forbidden realm of prostitution and its prominence in our culture (despite its suppression).

Please, if you are looking for sex, nudity and romp, try something like: Ubalda, All Naked and Warm (I gave it five stars).

If you are looking for something to stimulate your brain, in addition to your left hand, these arthouse classics are well worth your time and consideration.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should be PG, Sep 15 2005
By Terry Jones "Terry" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Radley Metzger Collection: Box Set 1 (DVD)
I read the reviews before buying this DVD and they gave me a completly different type of movie than what I saw. I have seen more nudity and adult mateial in a PG rated movie. You cost me badly, now I don't know what I will do with them, because I will never watch them again. Thanks for nothing.
