Wicked Pictures Releases Award Winning European Feature
ALL ABOUT ANNA
As A Specially Packaged Two Disc Collectors Edition

DATELINE: JANUARY 28, 2008 | Daniel Metcalf Public Relations

LOS ANGELES, CA - (January 28, 2008 DM/PR) - Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce that it is shipping a deluxe, two disc Collectors Edition DVD of the multiple award winning adults-only crossover feature All About Anna. Billed as “Scandinavian erotica by women for women and couples,” the movie’s North American DVD release coincides with the announcement this past week that the film’s co-production company, Zentropa, received a 2008 Academy Award nomination for Best Short Film (Live Action) for its emotionally captivating drama At Night, executive produced by Peter Aalbæk Jensen, who also co-executive produced All About Anna. The new edition of All About Anna will arrive at retail locations nationwide January 29th, 2008.!

Over the last twelve months, All About Anna has won a number of awards and played the film festival circuit both internationally and in the United States. Last Spring saw this unique English language, Danish lensed erotic film snaring three major trophies at the Scandinavian Adult Awards, presented by the internet portal Side6.dk. The picture received awards for Best Scandinavian Couples Film, Best Scandinavian Actor (Thomas Raft), and Best Selling Scandinavian Star (Gry Bay). Filmmaker Jessica Nilsson was also nominated for Best Director. Just prior to the awards ceremony taking place at the Erotic World Fair in Copenhagen's Valbyhallen, All About Anna made its North American theatrical debut as part of Cinematic Sexualities Of The 21st Century, a month long look at global erotica sponsored by the ! University Of Chicago’s Doc Films, where it was screened alongside 9 Songs and Irreversible.

The new two disc Collectors Edition of this sexy couples’ pleaser offers audiences several hours of viewing excitement, including two different cuts of the film (the Producers’ Cut and the Director’s Cut), Commentaries By Gry Bay, Mark Stevens, Eileen Daly, and Ovidie, Unedited Sex Scenes, Photo Gallery, Trailer And TV Spot, Screenplay, Synopsis, Biographies, Press Materials, and more.

A lighthearted romance with hardcore sex, All About Anna’s unique appeal to adventurous couples is succinctly summed up by European author Marcelle Perks, who recommends the film in her popular book Secrets Of Porn Star Sex with this tantalizing suggestion:

“Rather than being intimidated by porn, do a bit of research and find something you can have fun with. An! ideal ‘introduction movie’ is the hit film ‘All About Anna,’ a mainstream film that features real sex!”

ALL ABOUT ANNA is a new type of erotic film, based on real life rather than on the wish-fulfilling fantasies that characterize traditional sex movies. It portrays a type of woman with whom we all are familiar, fighting with problems most women know all too well.

The film is also an attempt to integrate explicit sex as part of the storytelling and character development. Thus, the film’s sex scenes play a role in defining the characters and their relationships. Without the sex scenes, the film’s drama would fall apart.

Striving for optimal realism, All About Anna was shot on location in Copenhagen and Paris. The romantic prologue and flashbacks were shot at sea on an Greenlandic icebreaker, a bittersweet conversation was shot in front of the Eiffel Tower, and the story’s emotional climax features such landmark! s as Copenhagen’s Royal Castle. The scenes in Anna’s apartment were shot in the real apartment of actress Gry Bay. Here, the film’s first major sex scene was performed repeatedly by Gry and Thomas Raft in front of a huge window, witnessed by astonished neighbors while traffic and everyday life passed by on the busy city street outside.

All About Anna marks the culmination of the gradual move towards the use of explicit images in art house cinema which was initiated by Lars von Trier’s The Idiots. Renowned for their search for cinematic truth, realism and new means of expression, Lars von Trier, Zentropa, Innocent Pictures, and Wicked Pictures have truly brought erotic cinema into the 21st Century.
