La vampire nue (The Nude Vampire, 1970)
"I've seen this sign before. The woman who saved my life at the townhouse by killing one of the animal men wore the same sign."
"You too will carry the sign one day, like us, like her."
"The girl?"
"She is one of us. You too are one of us. Don't you know that yet?"

Rollin Jnr is a decent lead but i missed having a really strong woman character; a Marie Georges Pascal or a Brigitte Lahaie#less a comment on the actresses in this film and more on Rollin's script here‚ which makes most of the women subjects of male agency#the windswept beach ending (oh how Jean loved a windswept beach ending) is as beautiful and as affecting as it ever was#as always with JR i find myself requiring more time to think about this film. sometimes I only know a Rollin film was great after I'm still#thinking about it weeks or months later; other times i know immediately. this is the former and not the latter‚ but i do appreciate just#how sumptuous it all looks‚ that I'm sure of
