  • BTW These are films directed by Lemoine (although he also stars in at least one of them).

        This was pretty disappointing. None of the special features are English-friendly, and movie didn't magically get better. Best presentation by far, though.

        • The box is beautiful though and I take whatever Rollin I can get!

          • Did not realize that a documentary about Rollin had been released, it just played Fantasia and it's called Orchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin.

                  • Someone on the Criterion forum is claiming that Indicator is working on a 4K Rollin set

                    Comment


                    • Holy moly, that would really be something.

                      The maling list email Indicator sent out today includes a teaser image taken from the poster artwork for 'La Vampire Nue', so.... time to start saving.

                      • Indicator also announced today that they'd be announcing their first UHD title for US and UK markets soon - so... maybe? I'd be all over that.

                        • Frisson with HDR might liquify my eyeballs. Will probably buy these for the fourth time, donkey that I am.

                          • Part of me wishes that Severin had these and did a massive box set including the pornos. Not that many of them are any good, but just from a preservation point of view.

                            But then again, as the new unelected UK government just destroyed its own economy, I'll probably never be able to import again.

                            • Coming in April from Indicator!

                              (Jean Rollin, 1997)
                              Release date: 24 April 2023
                              Limited Edition 4K UHD (World premiere)

                              Originally released in 1997, Two Orphan Vampires (Les Deux orphelines vampires) finds Jean Rollin, the master of the fantastique, returning to the vampire genre with which he had made his name.

                              By day, blind orphans Henriette and Louise seem to be the picture of innocence. But when darkness falls, their sight returns, and they wander the streets of Paris, encountering the city’s strange nocturnal denizens, and leaving a trail of corpses in their quest for fresh blood.

                              Featuring startling performances from novice leads Alexandre Pic and Isabelle Teboul, alongside Tina Aumont (Modesty Blaise) and Rollin regulars Nathalie Perrey (The Shiver of the Vampires) and Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination), Two Orphan Vampires is a beautiful and melancholy summation of Rollin’s unique and arresting style.

                                (Jean Rollin, 1971)
                                Release date: 24 April 2023
                                Limited Edition 4K UHD (World premiere)

                                Jean Rollin’s third feature film, 1971’s The Shiver of the Vampires (Le Frisson des vampires), established themes and visual motifs to which he would return throughout his career, blending horror, eroticism, fairy tale, and surrealism to create his unique cinema of the fantastique.

                                Arriving at a decrepit chateau for their honeymoon, young newlyweds undergo a series of surreal and sinister encounters, and come to realise that they are the prey of the resident vampires...

                                With performances from Sandra Julien (I Am Frigid... Why?) and Marie-Pierre Castel (Lips of Blood), ravishing cinematography from Rollin’s regular collaborator Jean-Jacques Renon, and a thrilling jazz-rock score by Acanthus, The Shiver of the Vampires is regarded as one of Rollin’s greatest films.
