Felicity [Unrated Director's Cut]

"Severin Films has done a lovely job on a rare title with their DVD edition of Felicity. The transfer was taken from the director's vault print and looks fantastic for something that wasn't transferred from a negative source; there's a slight bit of fading in a few scenes, but this transfer otherwise does a lovely job of capturing the film's lush look, especially the dazzling neon colors of Hong Kong's nightlife. In terms of audio, the disc uses the original mono mix and it's pretty robust for a non-stereo track, with especially crisp dialogue and music. The extras consist of a rather randy trailer, a still gallery that is equally racy, and a commentary track that reunites director John Lamond with star Glory Annen. The latter feature is the best, offering a nice mix of production trivia, discussion of artistic matters, and even some interesting theorizing about aesthetic issues regarding both filmmaking and erotica. All in all, this is a fine special edition that is guaranteed to delight sexploitation buffs."
