Description

Texts about quite a few deeply underrated films, primarily from the 1970s, that liberated the viewer's gaze from the family television image, further decriminalizing nudity (both female and male), erotic entanglement, or even the act of lovemaking itself, placing all of these within the Greek landscape (either natural or urban).

In a conservative era, however one might look at it, it is censorship that relaxes – both during the dictatorship and after the transition to democracy – in order for Greek cinema and the people who depended on it for their survival (technicians, theater managers, etc.) to survive after the heavy blow dealt by television, essentially showing things that TV could not.

Thus, new erotic personas emerged, like those played by Anna Fonsou, Gisela Dali, Dora Sidziani, Rita Bensoussan, Tina Spathi, Ajita Wilson, among others, along with their partners, Theodoros Roubanis, Lefteris Gyiftopoulos, Udo Kier, Giorgos Stratigakis, Christos Nomikos, and others.

The book does not lack texts and information even about our underground or experimental cinema, groundbreaking musical films are included, and many other things, which you will gradually discover.
