Never got around to seeing Nadja, will add it to my list.

I highly recommend it. There is a lot of amazing lighting/ shot compositions throughout, mixture of film and pixelvision video. A fantastic piece of cinema. I also recommend Almereyda's other pictures ( Hamlet, The Eternal, and Another Girl Another planet. Great stuff. Thanks for taking a look at my blog post.

I love The Hunger. Tony Scott's best film and it's very similar to Eyetalian horror with its focus on style over substance.

Nadja is indeed excellent. Lynch as the morgue attendant was perfect. Incredible soundtrack too. Portishead!

Nice to see a later Franco like Vampire Blues listed too. That movie's like mixing opiates and acid.

Yeah, Tom Clark, I've seen a huge chunk of Franco's filmography, and am really a big fan of all his films. I am probably in the minority in thinking that his later One Shot Production pictures ( Vampire Blues, Marie Cookie & The Killer Tarantula, Vampire Junction, Etc,) were absolutely brilliant.
Alex K, i agree that The Hunger is a really good film. It's one I will have to revisit, as It has been awhile since I have seen it. It is definitely better than some of his more mainstream efforts.

Your summary of LIPS OF BLOOD is spot-on. It's an unforgettable film.

Thanks matt H. Yes, it certainly is an unforgettable film, and a favorite of Rollin's great cinema.
