Description: Cannabis or 'French Intrigue' as it was called on the North American video release, is a low budget film that comes highly recommended, not least for the sight of Jane Birkin who looks absolutely gorgeous throughout the film, whether clothed or unclothed. The excellent cast also includes Serge Gainsbourg playing a chainsmoking unshaven hoodlum, Curd Jürgens and Paul Nicholas. Visually stunning, the cinematography and editing are outstanding, and the soundtrack, written by Serge Gainsbourg is fantastic. Most memorable scene, arguably, features Serge Gainsbourg in a huge Chicken coupe shooting it out with other baddies.

艺名“毒药”（Veneno）的克里斯蒂娜·奥尔蒂斯（Cristina Ortiz）是西班牙九十年代最知名的跨性别电视艺人、LGBT偶像。她在童年时期就意识到自己的性别身份，却也因此在家乡小镇遭受了多年的歧视和攻击。1992年，28岁的克里斯蒂娜前往马德里追寻新生活，并于 不久后正式开始了性别过渡。1996年，知名电视人佩佩·纳瓦罗（Pepe Navarro）正在为他的夜间秀《今夜我们穿越密西西比》寻找新专题，当时还在马德里西部公园做妓女的克里斯蒂娜因为出众的外型、独特的言谈和率真的性格被纳瓦罗的节目组发掘，“毒药”一夜成名。而各种悲剧也在几年后接踵而至。“毒药”克里斯蒂娜于2016年10月出版个人回忆录，此书由她本人口述，由跨性别作者瓦莱丽娅·维加斯（Valeria Vegas）记录整理，可出版后一个月，克里斯蒂娜在家中不幸离世。基于这本回忆录、真实的影像资料和其他人的讲述，Los Javis带来了2020年度最值得期待的西班牙传记剧《毒药》。

爱情可以醇如佳酿，也可毒如砒霜。《毒药》要讲的就是三个离经叛道的荒诞故事。《英雄》中的英雄并非什么占士邦或铁金刚式打不死，而是一个乳臭未乾的黄毛小子。都说不可小覤新新人类的力量──年仅七岁的小主角枪杀无赖老豆，绝不手震。《可怖》向50年代经典恐怖科幻片《变蝇人魔》致敬。科学家成功研究出一个惊世实验，把人类性欲化作液体保存。三个短篇中最引起争议的，是描绘监狱另类春光的《凶毛》。一个终生囚犯不能自拔的迷恋囚友，自虐被虐共冶一炉，引人入「性」。粗犷暴烈的场面赤裸裸地冲击观众底线。三段人生，三种手法。《紫醉金迷》导演托特海恩斯就是凭本片夺得1991年辛丹士影展大奖，一鸣惊人。

One of the great late period films by Sacha Guitry — the total auteur who delighted (and scandalised) the French public and inspired the French New Wave as a model for authorship as director-writer-star of screen and stage alike. In every one of his pictures (and almost every one served as a rueful examination of the war between the sexes), Guitry sculpted by way of a rapier wit — one might say by way of “the Guitry touch” — some of the most sophisticated black comedies ever conceived… and La Poison is one of his blackest.Michel Simon plays Paul Braconnier, a man with designs on murdering his wife Blandine (Germaine Reuver) — a woman with similar designs on her husband. When Braconnier visits Paris to consult with a lawyer about the perfect way of killing a spouse — that is, the way in which he can get away with it — an acid comedy unfolds that reaches its peak in a courtroom scene for the ages.From the moment of Guitry’s trademark introduction of his principals in the opening credits, and on through the brilliant performance by national treasure Michel Simon (of Renoir’s Boudu sauvé des eaux and Vigo’s L’Atalante, to mention only two high-water marks), here is fitting indication of why Guitry is considered by many the Gallic equal of Ernst Lubitsch. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to introduce Sacha Guitry into the catalogue with La Poison for the first time on video in the UK in a dazzling new Gaumont restoration.
