Celestine (1974)

Movie Overview

The story opens with Celestine eluding arrest with a friend as the police raid a brothel. While hiding out in the hayloft of the Count de la Braquette's estate, she meets the hayseed handyman Sébastien and the butler Malou, who reward her favors with the offer of employment. In a manner recalling Terence Stamp's effect on the household in TEOREMA, Celestine's open and relaxed attitude toward sexuality has a transformative effect on the isolated, moribund inhabitants of the mansion, imbuing them with gift of renewed life for the men and women alike, that remains even after a third act twist that forces her to betray them.

The first go release an one of the rarest, this was the initiator of Go's first four titles comprising of this soft core adult nature. Of all the Go titles this is incredibly sought after in collectors circles, currently its likely that to secure one of these would cost you near, if not over a four figure sum and places it as one of the most valuable tapes ever released in the UK. The few known examples are well tucked away in collections.

In the last five years only one new example has surfaced and Celestine has changed hands on just three occasions that are known, two of those were the same tape. It is without doubt one of the most sought after tapes from the pre cert era and if its not on your wants list, your not in the big game.
