Salon Kitty (BLU-RAY) Coming to Our Shelves November 2026
This most complete version of Tinto Brass's controversial masterwork is fully restored in 1080p HD, straight from the director's own archive print, with 21 minutes of censored footage reinstated, presenting the only true original vision of the film as Brass always intended it to be seen: uncompromising, uncut, and unequivocal.
Though notorious for its unflinching intensity, SALON KITTY is equally celebrated for its artfulness, occupying a singular place in world cinema. Its opulent production design is the work of legendary production designer Ken Adam, the two-time Academy Award® winner behind the iconic look of numerous James Bond films as well as Barry Lyndon. His monumental vision of Nazi Berlin infuses the film with an unsettling grandeur that continues to astonish.
Berlin, 1939. On the eve of war, cold-blooded SS officer Wallenberg (Helmut Berger The Damned, The Godfather III) is tasked with transforming carefully selected Nazi loyal beauties into instruments of state control. We follow Teresa Ann Savoy's fearless performance as one of these women who, once installed within the sumptuous establishment of Madam Kitty (Ingrid Thulin Cries and Whispers, The Damned), serves to expose the Reich's most powerful men and women.
Every room is wired. Every secret is captured. Every whispered confession becomes a weapon.
Based on true events, Salon Kitty is a harrowing yet hypnotic, deeply unsettling portrait of a regime consuming itself from within - where desire, power, and corruption are not merely entangled, but indistinguishable - a daring, provocative unflinching fusion of extreme boundary-pushing content and masterful cinematic craft. Beauty and depravity have rarely been so disturbingly inseparable.
