Blue Rita
Directed by Jesús Franco
Produced by Elite Film
A dark, surreal 1970s exploitation thriller that weaponizes trauma and seduction, blending spy intrigue with graphic revenge fantasy and moral ambiguity.
Nightclub owner and erotic dancer Rita Blue uses her place as a front for working undercover as a spy. Motivated by her vehement hatred of men that stems from having been sexually abused as a child, Rita and her seductive female cohorts not only gleefully torture guys as a means to obtain vital information, but also manhandle wealthy men in order to make them hand over their fortunes to them.
