Michael (FRANK & EVA'S Hugo Metsers) yearns for sex and becomes fascinated by the amorous life of an attractive woman next door (BUSINESS IS BUSINESS'S Carry Tefsen), eventually organizing a series of sordid orgies with her and the neighbors BLUE MOVIE was the most controversial and talked about Dutch film upon theatrical release - a sensation that brought millions of visitors to cinemas. Produced by Pim de la Parra (FRANK & EVA, OBSESSIONS), and directed by his partner Wim Verstappen, BLUE MOVIE was a breakthrough commercial hit for their company Scorpio Films - and the start of the Golden Years of Dutch cinema, also known as the "Dutch Sex Wave." Presented by Cult Epics for the first time ever in hi-definition on Blu-ray and DVD, and featuring cinematography by Jan de Bont (TURKISH DELIGHT, PRIVATE LESSONS, BASIC INSTINCT) - now see for yourself what all the commotion was about!" --container.
