4.0 out of 5 stars A romantic experimental film, September 15, 2004

By 

Salvador Fortuny Miró "Salvador" (Tarragona , Spain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Rape of the Vampire (DVD)

An original, subversive and boldness film that talks better than any other of Rollin's movies about his peculiar conception of cinema:a mixture of gothic horror imaginary, politic surrealism, dark romanticism and pulp sexy comic book aesthetic, and supported in camera experimentation and improvised performances . The film is conceived as a collage of images, following the estructure of his favourite painter, Clovis Trouille, solution that allows him to blends much of the referents that conform his ambiguous imagination joining with talent Gothic and romantic tradition with avant-garde concepts and experimentation . This is :the oniric poetry of Tristan Corbiere, the sexy shocker surrealism of Georges Bataille, the provocative and anticlerical cinema of Luis Bunuel, the bizarro and pulp melodrama style of Gaston Leroux and the poetic realism of Jacques Prevert.The picture is shown as a film in two parts,working the closing credits of the first one as an inflexion or keyhole to a surreal vampire tale . An amoral,ludic and non-narrative vampire's picture, half romantic, half conceptual and totally experimental.

This review is from: The Rape of the Vampire (DVD)

not too rapey, pretty vampirey, pretty boring in a good way. this had great music, and some really beautiful shots, i have to say i do prefer color, and i wish there were trailers for similar films on these releases, but it's a five star for any 60-70s foreign vampire...lovers.

This review is from: The Rape of the Vampire (DVD)

Nobody buys a Jean Rollin film for the plot. Sit back and be boggled by visual delights, or disturbed by them.

This film is set in two parts and begins with four sisters who believe themselves to be vampires, and some ends up being one.

I can't explain much because, I have to admit, I didn't understand much of this film. But it looks good.
