The Cult Films of Marilyn Jess

Marilyn Jess is an icon of French erotism. This book is the first one ever dedicated to the movie career of our beloved “Patinette” (her nickname), from her debuts to the erotic masterpieces directed by Gérard Kikoïne, Claude Mulot or Jean Rollin. The book also takes a look at the US, Italian and German productions she starred in, her collaboration to cult satirical magazine Hara Kiri and her photo novels, and we will investigate extensively the story of the movie she made with Traci Lords, Traci I Love you (1986). 304 pages of stories, anecdotes, firsthand accounts and many rare and unpublished pictures, and a complete filmography, as well as original pieces of art from illustrators and painters and many surprises.
