MADAME CLAUDE

“This all-star mixture of erotica, quirky comedy, surrealism, and political thriller finds Just Jaeckin delivering France's ambitious response to the popular THE HAPPY HOOKER and its real-life subject Xaviera Hollander.” -- Nathaniel Thompson, MONDO DIGITAL

Following his worldwide smashes EMMANUELLE and THE STORY OF O, provocative French filmmaker Just Jaeckin returned with this sensual, timeless drama about the world’s most exclusive madame — scored by Serge Gainsbourg himself. In 1960s Paris, a well-connected young woman with a dark past sends her girls to any place in the world to satisfy wealthy, powerful men -- and to satisfy her explorations into big business and politics. Meanwhile, a photographer tries to clear his own criminal record by providing the authorities pictures of Claude's girls with important clients.
