For people who like to snigger knowingly about sex and bodily functions, Eurotrash Unzipped is essential. It contains selections from all the seasons of Eurotrash, and a lot of material that was never shown because it was too gross, sexual or simply embarrassing--moments where the remorseless sexy teasing of host Antoine de Caunes just went a little too far. There is an entertaining featurette in which we are taken behind the scenes to the editing suite in which the voice-over staff decide precisely which irritating English accent to dub over the unfortunate French and German interviewees; this is a show that has always combined the view that foreigners are funny with the view that most British accents are funny as well. There is a memorial segment about the massive-breasted Lolo Ferrari, an odd exchange with Eddie Izzard about the danger of British breakfasts, trampolines and helicopters and the usual mixture of the grosser bits of the artistic avant-garde and the more pretentiously up-front sort of sex worker. It is business as usual--De Caunes, and occasionally Jean-Paul Gaultier, laughing at everyone, including themselves and the audience, for even bothering to talk about sex.
The name says it all

This dvd is a collection of clips from the Eurotrash tv show on channel 4. There are some very funny bits with Jean-Paul Gautier and lots of Victoria Silverstedt. In a blurb describing this dvd it said Laetitia Casta and Monica Belluci were featured. Laetitia is there, along with Manuela Arcuri and many other gorgeous girls, but only for a split second. Monica Belluci is no where to be seen.
On the DVD, there are interviews with the presenters, a couple of behind the scenes featurettes, series highlights, various 'interactive' features such as interchangable menu backgrounds, a photo gallery and a calendar. Although it proclaims to have the best bits, it misses out regular characters such as the magician 'Randy', but retains others such as Eddy Wally, the Flemish-speaking singer.
This DVD will offend most to a greater or lesser degree (especially Continental Europeans), but should at least contain something to spark of an odd titter in the most prudish of people!
