Lahaie by Brigitte In 2016, the book The Cult Films of Brigitte Lahaie was released, after three years in the making along with the actress to explore her formidable cinematic adventures. Two years ago, we released an English-language version of this reference book, which has become a source of pride for Brigitte herself. Last year, after she moved from her former house, Brigitte invited us to consult all the photos she had accumulated over the years, whether taken by prestigious photographers or by amateurs, by friends or family members, or by the men who counted in her life. It very quickly became clear to us that there was material here for a very beautiful album, with plenty of unseen images, which would tell her life and career, from the first steps of a shy young woman in front of a camera lens to a famous and admired radio host. Brigitte offered to write the texts for the album herself. And when she let us read the first chapters, we were both astonished and captivated, surprised to learn so much about her. After two particularly eventful years since the end of 2021, with a house fire, a divorce and a painful horse-riding accident, Brigitte has learned to let go, and now feels totally free to tell everything. Brigitte tells us about her early years, then her entry into the world of adult cinema, at the height of its golden age in the late 70’s in France. Then the desert crossing she experienced after her farewell to X-rated films. Her meeting with René Chateau, about which Brigitte opens up for the first time: her own way of paying tribute to this great man who has recently passed away, with whom she lived an intense story, both passionately and professionally. When she left René, in order to regain the freedom she had always been so fond of, she turned her back on cinema once and for all, and chose to change her life. She left Paris to rejuvenate and to be close to animals and nature. In 2001, a new adventure began. Her radio show made her France's favorite confidante and advisor on love and sexuality, a source of new fulfillment for her. Life is always full of surprises, and here she is, facing new adventures in the space of just a few months. She faces them all with the strength and courage that are her trademarks. Today, she embarks on a new life, with a new-found serenity. Lahaie par Brigitte is a beautiful 176-page full-color hardcover book with soft-touch effect, in 25.80 x 28.40 format. It features over 200 photos, mainly from Brigitte's private collection. It is available in either French or full English. Paul Raymond's Erotica (1981) by Brian Smedley-Aston Brigitte Lahaie travels to London to report on the erotic shows and charm magazines created by Paul Raymond, Great Britain adult entertainment tycoon. Brigitte meets his regular models and the stars of his shows. As she explores Paul Raymond's world, she encounters many new and exciting sexual experiences. An elegant, remarkably produced and deliciously kitsch film, entirely devoted to promoting the erotic empire built by Paul Raymond, nicknamed the "King of Soho". Born in 1925 and died in 2008, he liked to pretend he was one of the richest men in England. Brigitte is personally invited by the businessman to lead this lavish demonstration of his success, interspersed with love scenes photographed with great care, and sometimes unintentionally funny. Special mention goes to the sequence in London's most fashionable nightclub, where everyone dances naked! Edition features: Choice of three packaging options: Digipack, blu-ray with exclusive uncensored slipcover and selective varnish, or regular Amaray case blu-ray. Exclusive new master restoration based on a 4K scan of a "print zero" in perfect condition English version with subtitles, French version, German version Interview with Brigitte Lahaie Interview with Fiona Richmond, ex-model and former companion of Paul Raymond Interview with Serge Jacques, photographer who contributed extensively to Paul Raymond's magazines Touchez pas au zizi (1978) by Patrice Rhomm with Brigitte Lahaie, restored from a 4K scan of the original camera negative.
