Please note that UNTOUCHED will only be receiving a release in the US and Canada, since the BBFC have requested cuts to the film for UK distribution. It is our belief that, from the perspective of film heritage and preservation, it is best to present this, and all of our titles, as they were originally intended to be screened.

Limited Edition Blu-ray (World premiere)

Ricardo Montalbán (Sweet Charity), Ariadne Welter (The Panther Women), and Jorge Martínez de Hoyos (The Magnificent Seven) star in Untouched (Sombra verde), a strange exotic adventure set at the edge of civilisation.

Scientist Federico (Montalban) is tasked with taking a journey into the jungle to search for a rare medicinal root. When he becomes desperately lost, he is rescued by a farmer, and soon begins a torrid affair with the farmer's beautiful daughter, Yáscara (Welter).

Directed by Roberto Gavaldón (Macario), co-written by Luis Buñuel’s regular screenwriter Luis Alcoriza (Los olvidados, The Exterminating Angel), and shot almost entirely on location, Untouched is finally available – fully uncut and uncensored – on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world.
