Papaya Love Goddess Of The Cannibals (1978) LE Slipcover Shameless - Blu-ray Region Free

Joe D’Amato’s "PAPAYA, LOVE GODDESS OF THE CANNIBALS" is a quintessential example of the maverick director’s exploitative filmmaking, combining his signature blend of provocative elements and, here, violent cannibalistic horror - all finally uncut.

Starring the captivating Sirpa Lane, the muse of Walerian Borowczyk and lead of his explicit art-house sensation "The Beast”, Lane portrays a journalist seeking a story on a remote Caribbean island where Western business is destroying sacred land to build a nuclear reactor. While investigating, her presence entangles her with Papaya, a deadly temptress (played by a wild Melissa) who leads the resistance against the destructive interlopers.

Papaya avenges her people by luring and killing the plant engineers while pursuing her own twisted desires. The connection between Sirpa Lane’s journalist and the Goddess of the Cannibals ignites a vortex of tension and blood.

D'Amato's audacious vision delivers a Caribbean exploitation horror underpinned with social commentary. Known for his hands-on approach, D'Amato here also serves as cinematographer capturing the lush island landscape and its, literally, to-die-for inhabitants. His vision is accompanied by funky tunes from award-winning maestro Stelvio Cipriani and it is finally presented for the first time as intended: in its longest uncut version, now in Full-HD sourced from new 2K-restored original source materials, revealing every detail of the sun-drenched setting.
