Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fey (1971) is more than meets the eye!

🫦Mildly Erotic Eurotrash or film about life and death?💀

🧛‍♀️Yes the atmosphere is similar to Lesbian vampire films but the Dwarf is not Renfield from Dracula he’s from King Arthur’s Court.

🧚‍♀️Queen of Fairy is well known in Scotland (and even in the Scottish witch trials). This film resembles the great film Devil’s Widow (1970) with Ava Gardner - that is based on the Tam Lin, famous legend of the queen of fairy. 🇫🇷 has similar tales such as The Story of the Queen of the Flowery Isles - La Reine de l'isle des fleurs.

🛶Of course the oldest story behind this film is about Morgan le Fay, fairy enchantress of Arthurian legend and romance & Avalon, an island (with the boat) to which Britain’s legendary king Arthur was conveyed for the healing of his wounds after his final battle. It is first mentioned in Historia regum Britanniae (c. 1136). The island of ruled by the enchantress Morgan le Fay and her eight sisters, all of them skilled in the healing arts.

🎥 Morgan offers immortality and beauty; if the offer is not accepted, a life of abjection among a group of older women (crone) is the victim's lot. However the invitation is appealing.

🪦Immortality appears within psychoanalysis: for an uncanny excess of life, an ‘undead’ urge that persists beyond the (biological) cycle of life and death, generation and corruption.

🦄Oblivion 🍪, in a fairytale can be like the unlimited satisfaction of needs. Often, however, the hero finds his way back cleverly, or with the help of others. (Bettelheim 1987.) So here too. But when fantasy covers up a trauma, e.g. the loss of a mother, it can be like an attempt to keep parts of the mother alive forever.

🛋️Freud equates the death drive with the ‘so-called ‘compulsion-to-repeat’ an uncanny urge to repeat painful past experiences that seems to outgrow the natural limitations of the organism affected by it and to persist even beyond the organism’s death. (Žižek 2006, 62-63).

Beautiful scenery 🏰

Soul Sanitarium review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (a fantasy film/horror elements are missing, but not the usual Hollywood 💩) This is what Labyrinth (1986) could not show🙂
