Le frisson des vampires (The Shiver of the Vampires, 1971)
"This is where the living make a religion of respecting the dead. This is where the dead make a religion of preserving their lives."
#le frisson des vampires#the shiver of the vampires#french cinema#jean rollin#1971#monique natan#sandra julien#jean marie durand#jacques robiolles#kuelan herce#marie pierre castel#michel delahaye#nicole nancel#dominique#jean jacques renon#acanthus#classic Rollin fantasmagoria of the vampiric sort; relatively early in his canon‚ but all the familiar tropes are in play#at its best this leans into a sort of theatricality; it's there from the very opening moment‚ as the players stand still‚ just for a second#like actors in tableaux before the beginning of a play (whether or not this frisson of artifice is intentional or simply the very real#capturing of actors awaiting their cue‚ i couldn't tell you‚ but effect persists regardless). it's also in the carefully choreographed way#that the two servants move together‚ or the elevated‚ vaguely unnatural performances of the two cousins‚ or the garish kaleidoscopic#lighting. Rollin is always playing in dreamscapes‚ nearly exclusively in his mainstream (ie non porn) work‚ but here more than ever he#seems to be revelling in it‚ even as he pushes it to another remove (a second step of othering nearly: not just a dream‚ but the#conscious performance of a dream). all of this is provided‚ like vibes and mood‚ by the bucketful; plotting and dialogue come a perhaps#necessary second (even by Rollin standards‚ this is ethereal and loosely fitted together‚ scenes blending into scenes without much regard#for cohesive story beats). didn't grab me and hold me like other Rollin films have but there's certainly something here‚ and visually#this is as interesting and as rich as any of the director's works. solidly weird proggy soundtrack too!

La vampire nue (The Nude Vampire, 1970)
"I've seen this sign before. The woman who saved my life at the townhouse by killing one of the animal men wore the same sign."
"You too will carry the sign one day, like us, like her."
"The girl?"
"She is one of us. You too are one of us. Don't you know that yet?"
#la vampire nue#the nude vampire#jean rollin#french cinema#1970#serge moati#caroline cartier#olivier rollin#maurice lemaître#bernard musson#jean aron#ursule pauly#catherine castel#marie pierre castel#michele delahaye#pascal fardoulis#paul bisciglia#natalie perrey#rené jean chauffard#only Rollin's second feature‚ and his first in colour‚ but already he's establishing themes and images he would continue to play#with and tinker at for the rest of his life. a tale of vampirism but also an inversion of the genre‚ mixed with a little spy film stuff and#mystical realism. belongs to the same phantasmagorical world as later films like Lips of Blood or Dracula's Fiancee‚ but the overall effect#is perhaps not quite as satisfying? that‚ or Rollin is still working out the rough edges. visually tho this is beautifully avant garde#rich in colour and impressively decorated‚ beautiful costuming and set design; the director at perhaps his most overtly 'weird' in terms of#design. Rollin Jnr is a decent lead but i missed having a really strong woman character; a Marie Georges Pascal or a Brigitte Lahaie#less a comment on the actresses in this film and more on Rollin's script here‚ which makes most of the women subjects of male agency#the windswept beach ending (oh how Jean loved a windswept beach ending) is as beautiful and as affecting as it ever was#as always with JR i find myself requiring more time to think about this film. sometimes I only know a Rollin film was great after I'm still#thinking about it weeks or months later; other times i know immediately. this is the former and not the latter‚ but i do appreciate just#how sumptuous it all looks‚ that I'm sure of
