Programmer's Pick
Dragonard dials the colonial-era decadence up to eleven, serving up bare-chested bondage and brothel intrigue with a side of plantation politics. With Oliver Reed oozing menace and Eartha Kitt running the island's most sympathetic establishment, this is a sweltering slice of historical exploitation.
