The Dutch Sex Wave aka the Golden Age of Dutch cinema combined artistic freedom, sexual liberation, and exploitation with commercial success. Cult Epics presents four of frontrunner Scorpio Films most successful Dutch Sex Wave films, previously unreleased in the US: MY NIGHTS WITH SUSAN, SANDRA, OLGA & JULIE – the erotic four play; BLUE MOVIE – the most sensational taboo film of all time; FRANK & EVA – living apart together; and OBSESSIONS – Hitchcock, Scorsese and sex.
“The significance of Scorpio in those years was that Holland learned that Dutch films existed and were worth watching.” – Paul Verhoeven
