One of the most atmospheric films ever, from one of my favorite directors ever!
Jean Rollin, truly delivers in this aesthetic masterpiece.
If you are looking for fast paced action, gore, or anything extreme...LOOK ELSEWHERE. However, if you are looking for beautiful imagery, surreal images, and a simple story line, this is for you! This is visual poetry... at its best.
Rollin stated that he wanted to make a film as close as possible to a spontaneous made-up campfire story. One that possessed a sense of dread and eroticism permeating the largely silent narrative... and that is just what he did.
Surrealism, eroticism, beautiful cemetery location filming, Rollin, once again, never fails to amaze me.
I have had this movie for such a long time, but have been waiting for the right time to watch it, as ones mood is essential in the viewing of this film. Or, will this film possess you and fill you with a feeling of the bizarre and surreal? This is for you to decide!
Once again, I am mesmerized and fascinated by Rollins ability to capture beauty in motion. Beauty in the smallest of objects and leave me with a feeling of bliss.
