His work tapered off beyond the mid-80s amid the likes of the tawdry Emmanuelle V (1987), but there is a small cult that centres around Walerian Borowczyk’s films. Borowczyk became a live-action director with erotic films such as Goto, Island of Love (1968), Blanche (1971), Immoral Tales (1974), The Story of a Sin (1975), The Streetwalker (1976), Behind Convent Walls (1977), Lulu (1980), Dr Jekyll and His Women (1981) and The Art of Love (1983). The Polish-born but French-based Borowczyk emerged with a series of acclaimed (and still unavailable on video) animated short films in the 1960s, but it was his erotica that gained Borowcyzk critical semi-respectability. One struggles to think of any other erotic director whose works received film festival releases, for instance. Walerian Borowcyzk was for a brief time one of the most respectable directors of erotica.
