NEW YORK, NY - MAY 19, 2014 - Kino Lorber is pleased to announce the DVD releases of the much-anticipated RED SHOE DIARIES: SEASON ONE and the digitally remastered special edition of RED SHOE DIARIES: THE MOVIE, both starring David Duchovny (The X-FilesCalifornication) in the role that made him a star. Enthusiasts of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY will devour these passion-filled stories told with inimitable style by Zalman King, "the reigning auteur of erotic fantasy" (The Los Angeles Times).

RED SHOE DIARIES: SEASON ONE (SRP: $29.95) and RED SHOE DIARIES: THE MOVIE (SRP: $26.95) are both set to street on DVD on June 17th, with special features including an introduction by Zalman King, The Stars of Red Shoe Diaries, and a photo gallery.

Zalman King, the acclaimed creator of stylish erotic dramas and heralded as "the high priest of erotic film-making" by Premiere Magazine, created the international hits 9 ½ WeeksWild Orchid and Two Moon Junction before taking to television to give audiences his best-known work, RED SHOE DIARIES, the groundbreaking TV movie and series (which ran for five seasons and was a major hit for the Showtime network) that has been imitated by many, but never equaled. 

This landmark series, which paved the way for such latter-day erotic dramas as Fifty Shades of Grey, stars David Duchovny (The X-FilesCalifornication) in his breakout role as a man who learns of his late wife's affair with another man when he comes across her personal journal shortly after her death. Guest stars in Season One include Ally Sheedy (The Breakfast ClubSt. Elmo's Fire), Matt LeBlanc ("Friends"), Joan Severence ("American Horror Story", "Masters of Sex"), Steven Bauer ("The Mentalist", "Breaking Bad"), and Arnold Vosloo ("Bones", "Elementary").

Douglas Martin, writing in The New York Times, called King "A filmmaker who mixed artistic aspiration, a professed empathy for female sexuality and gauzy photography - particularly with his Showtime series, Red Shoe Diaries... The series was notable for its female point of view, an approach that drew women and couples to what became one of Showtime's highest rated programs - and led HBO and other cable channels to imitate it." Later in his career, master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick consulted with King on the filming of the erotic scenes in Eyes Wide Shut.

Kino Lorber will release the complete first season of the RED SHOE DIARIES, along with the TV movie of the same name (also starring Duchovny) that started it all. Both the TV movie and Season One of RED SHOE DIARIES will become available on DVD in new stunning new transfers that do justice to the sensual and distinctive visual style of this unique and highly personal artist.

DVD Street date: June 17, 2014

DVD SRP: $26.95

Zalman King is the creator and undisputed heavyweight champion of the erotic/romantic film. Building on his blockbuster films like 9½ Weeks and Wild Orchid, King brought his trademark combination of lush romance, torrid sensuality and cutting-edge style to the television screen in RED SHOE DIARIES: THE MOVIE, launching the career of David Duchovny (The X-FilesCalifornication).

Jake (Duchovny) is a successful architect about to marry the love of his life. He thinks that he knows everything about her. And then he discovers that she has been having a secret, passionate affair with a completely different kind of man, a construction worker. He is beautiful... the perfect body... who makes no demands on her, except sex. But when she wants to end it, he won't let her. Haunted by guilt, she begins to spin more and more out of control. And like a moth lured to the flame, the fire consumes her.

In this Special Edition DVD, Kino Lorber is proud to present this groundbreaking erotic film that many have tried to imitate but still has no equal.
