Product Description
Synopsis
Absurd, erotic, and surreal, this is Borowczyk's first live-action film after he made his name as an animator. The island of Goto is ruled by the despotic King Goto III (Pierre Brasseur), who ensures his position by relegating his people to thankless jobs and issuing cruel and unusual punishments. When a criminal scheduled to fight in a death-match tells the king that his queen (LA JETEE's Ligia Branice, Borowczyk's wife) is having an affair, Goto's response ends his reign, as well as several lives.
From the Back Cover
Walerian Borowczyk is responsible for some of the most bizarre and memorable films to be produced over the last few decades. He has been described as both a brilliant director of art cinema and a high class pornographer. Whatever your opinion of the man, his work cannot be ignored.

Goto L'ile d'amour is a strange and starkly grim fantasy set on the island of Goto which was cut off from the rest of the world in the late 19th century. Life on the island is controlled by the sadistic ruler Goto111, his shaven haired servile subjects living like human ants - working in the stone quaries, relaxing in the state run brothels and seemingly totally loyal to their brutal leader.
Goto's wife Glossia falls in love with her riding instructor Gono (everyone's name begins with a G on Goto) with whom she attempts to flee the island, but things take a decidedly nasty turn.
The bleak austerity of the film protrays Borowczyk's formative years in eastern Europe which provide a nightmarish vision in this first live action feature.
