You thought I'd be taking a one year break from #Hooptober? Hell and no!

#NowWatching, Lèvres de sang [Lips of Blood] (1975) by the great Jean Rollin.

You can definitely skip this one.

I hope one or two of you enjoy this. I'd love one or two of you to like/subscribe. All feedback welcome on the videos, as it's always supposed to be left open for conversation instead of just being all from my lone perspective.

I'm very fond of Jean Rollin’s late films like Dracula's Fiancee (2002). They have a magical vibe, reminiscent of magic realism with no attempt to explain the magical elements. Once again Rollin creates a whole new mythology. Mesmerising stuff.

Hallo #Kiel, unsere lokale Geindhouse-Filmreihe wird unglaubliche 5 Jahre alt und das feiern wir mit dem ersten MONDO GRINDHOUSE FESTIVAL. Kommenden Sonntag gibt es 12 Stunden abseitiges Kino und wer eine ermäßigte Dauerkarte kauft, kriegt sogar nen Kaffeegutschein, um am Ende noch wach zu sein. Wir starten Mittags und ich moderiere Jean Rollins poetische Friedhofstragödie Die eiserne Rose an. Kommt ins Studio Kino! #StudioKino #StudioKinoKiel #MondoGrindhouse #JeanRollin #TexasChainSawMassacre

SUNDAY?! What happened with my #LetterboxdFriday?!!

I forgot about it, that's what... Oh well, here's my #lastfourwatched today.

Lips of Blood (1975) marks the end of the first phase of Jean Rollin’s career, in which Rollin tried to combine unconventional erotic horror with full-blooded surrealism. Its commercial failure forced him to change direction. A great movie.

Weekly video time. And I think I pack a bit more in than I did in the last week or two.

The Nude Vampire (1970) Jean Rollin

What an amazing first, silent 10 minutes. I can't imagine having been able to watch this in the theater. And the Castel sisters' outfits!

I just purchased a program from when it was first released in France and am having a (justified) rewatch.

Jean Rollin’s Lost in New York (1989), a precursor to his excellent Two Orphan Vampires (1997). This is a movie obsessed with time and with the pop culture of the past that Rollin loved.

There are two girls, lost in time and unable to find each other.

Subtle surrealism, dream-like, haunting. Brilliant movie.

My review: https://princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2023/03/lost-in-new-york-1989.html

Killing Car (1993), a very odd untypical Jean Rollin movie, but a very good and interesting one. An Asian woman has a car and a gun and she makes use of both. She goes on a killing spree.

There's Rollin surrealism here, but it's a gritty scuzzy harsh surrealism.

@REEL I went through a #JeanRollin phase a long while ago and know too few people who have experienced his films.

Rewatched THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTED and will now be on a mission to introduce Jean Rollin films to the French learning curriculum. Found it very easy to understand most with little need for subtitles as his dialogue directing style is always very calm, slow and well pronounced.

Très sophistiqué. Three collections containing all the Bruno Brazil albums, one collection of two Largo Winch comics and two Jean Rollin movies. I guess I am all set to continue my French studies in the new year.
