I Spit on Your Grave 2: Celebrity Nudity on DVD and Blu-ray 9.24.13 [PICS]

It’s a rough-and-tumble week for Blu-ray/DVD releases, starting out with the vengeance filled flick I Spit on Your Grave 2 (2013). This sequel to the skinfamous 1978 version has all the exploitation of the original, with Jemma Dallender spending a large part of the movie completely nude before wreaking bloody revenge. Another horror sequel, V/H/S 2 (2013), is hitting the shelves, with slightly less gruesome scenes of Hannah Hughes and Mindy Robinson topless. Finally, Francois Ozon , the director that brought us Ludivine Sagnier buck naked in Swimming Pool , is treating us to a look at the top floor on Emmanuelle Seigner in In the House (2012). There really is no place like bone! See pics after the jump!

DVD: Get Your Ozon On with Hideaway

One of the most-anticipated movies among what’s left of this country’s audience for foreign films is the corporate comedy Potiche , starring Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu and directed by François Ozon. And while Ozon is a big deal in his home country of France, his films generally get noticed Stateside only when they feature big names like Charlotte Rampling ( Swimming Pool ) or Isabelle Huppert (who stars alongside Deneuve and six other towering stars of French cinema in 8 Women ). If you haven’t already discovered the greatness of Ozon, start with Hideaway (Le Refuge) , out on DVD this week from Strand Releasing Home Entertainment.

Postcard from Venice: Vincent Gallo Keeps His Promises, François Ozon Scores With Stars

It’s a chilly, overcast day in Venice, and as I walk along the Lido down Lungomare Guglielmo Marconi, peering over the tall hedges that separate the street from the sea, the water looks gray and foreboding. What a pretentious-sounding sentence that is! But then, I’ve just come from seeing artiste Vincent Gallo’s Promises Written in Water, one of two pictures Gallo is presenting at the festival. The other is a short ( The Agent ), and Gallo also appears as an actor in another film in competition, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski’s Essential Killing.
