Sinner: The Secret Diary of a Nymphomaniac (Kino Cult)
Â
A Film by legendary cult director JesĂșs âJessâ Franco (The Diabolical Dr. Z, The Blood of Fu Manchu, Venus in Furs, Count Dracula, Lorna⊠the Exorcist). Made at the height of Francoâs creative prowess, Sinner: The Secret Diary of a Nymphomaniac is a grindhouse Citizen Kane: a moody tale of one womanâs sexual evolution and shocking demise, told through the eyes of those who knew her. When Linda (Montserrat Prous) dies in the arms of her lover (Manuel Pereiro), the manâs wife (Jacqueline Laurent) investigates the dead womanâs past, to try and clear her husbandâs name. As it weaves together the tangled threads of Lindaâs tragic life, Sinner leads the viewer into a voyeuristic labyrinth of seedy discotheques, sultry jazz clubs, and delicious â70s sex pads, backed with an acid rock soundtrack and oversaturated visuals that bring the film to the edge of psychedelia. Within its depths, Sinner reveals unexpected layers of narrative and emotional complexity, demonstrating why Franco remains one of the most under-appreciated filmmakers of European cinema.
- NEW Audio Commentary by Novelist and Critic Tim Lucas
- Interview with Actress Jacqueline Laurent
- Interview with Actress Anne Libert
- Interview with Editor Gérard Kikoïne
- Includes Both English and French Audio Tracks
