Papaya, Love Goddess of the Cannibals Blu-Ray

Description

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 nudity, eroticism, and here, violent cannibalistic horror.

Starring the captivating Sirpa Lane, the muse of Walerian Borowczyk and lead of his erotic art-house sensation “The Beast”,  sex-siren Lane portrays a journalist seeking a story on a remote Caribbean island where Western business interests are destroying sacred land to build a nuclear reactor. Her investigation leads her to Papaya, a deadly temptress played with wild intensity by Melissa Chimenti, who leads the resistance against the destructive interlopers.

Papaya avenges her people by seducing and killing the plant engineers while gratifying her own perverse ecstasy. The mutual sapphic attraction between Sirpa Lane’s journalist and the Goddess of the Cannibals ignites a vortex of lust and blood.

D’Amato’s audacious vision delivers a Caribbean sex-and-gore fest underpinned with ecological and 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 goddesses. His shameless 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 sun-kissed glistening sensuality.
