maybe this one is for the hardcore cult film obsessives; i'm not sure director Jean Rollin is known outside of that clique. frankly i would prefer to look at the stills from his films than the actual films themselves. usually his films are filled with naked french girls, usually they are vampires, usually they are lesbians, usually they are engaging in soft pore cornography...so the elements are there for great films right? but no, jean rollin proceeds to package the proceedings in the most laughably pretentious example of exploitation horror erotica disguised as french art film; scenes go on and on with a kind of slow-motion drugged languorousness; impossible to watch without falling asleep (nude french vampire lesbian goings-on notwithstanding).
if the mention of pretentious french artiness is getting you interested in the films of jean rollin, here is a link to a series of articles on jean rollin that should serve as a good primer for those who want to take the films seriously: http://www.kinoeye.org/index_02_07.php; i prefer to apply my intellectual film theorizing to films like Beyond The Poseiden Adventure, Meteor and Chopping Mall.
The music to Les Deux Orphelines Vampires gives you a taste of Jean Rollin's entire filmmaking technique. You'll see what i mean.
It was tough finding pics/posters of Rollin's Two Orphan Vampires film for this posting, so I used interesting snaps of other Rollin films.
