Kino Classics will release on Blu-ray director Roger Vadim's film Vice and Virtue (1963), starring Annie Girardot, Catherine Deneuve, Robert Hossein, and Luciana Paluzzi. The release will be available for purchase on March 17th.

Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation of France, Vice and Virtue (La vice et le vertu) is a stylized retelling of the Marquis de Sade's Justine, as envisioned by one of cinema's most provocative filmmakers: Roger Vadim (Blood and Roses, Barbarella). Two sisters navigate very different courses as they struggle to survive within the morally corrupt fascist regime. Juliette (Annie Girardot, The Piano Teacher) is surrounded by the spoils of war, being the mistress of an SS colonel (Robert Hossein). Meanwhile, Justine (Catherine Deneuve, Repulsion, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg), whose husband is seized by fascists on their wedding day, is taken to a chateau in the country, where she is groomed to become a concubine for the Nazi elite.

Kino's determined to rule the year. Starting off strong.

If only they could get Vadim's BLOOD AND ROSES!

Gaumont has a lot of stuff that needs to be brought across the pond. I'm especially hoping more of their non-English friendly discs start showing up over here. Good sign from Kino.
