Letterboxd — Your life in film

In this film by Roger Vadim Brigitte Bardot plays an eighteen-year old Juliette Hardy who is an orphan and makes the minds of men go upside down in a small French town. What we have here is a tale of a wanton young sensual and sexual woman who defies the then current moral norms and practises and of men who lose their minds trying to catch that wild creature and tame her, accordingly. What follows is the divine BB frolicking…

Despite being a tedious watch for me and from time to time dragging and slow, Vampyros Lesbos holds some interesting themes and beneath all it's "women grinding and making sensual sounds while a sleazy porn-like score plays on the background" there are actually things to digest and analyze.

Countess Nadine, a vampire (Soledad Miranda) seduces a blonde bombshell Linda (Ewa Strömberg) and they caress each others a lot and there are some doctors and blood and boobies and bottoms. Simply…

Bresson is, undoubtedly, a genius, an artist. I watched Une femme douce last Summer and it left me speechless, wordless with nothing else left but this spiritual-like regained faith in humanness, everything human. I like to think it is right to describe Bresson as a deeply spiritual director. The theme in Une femme douce is beneath it's exterior a simple one - a tale of mercy, setting free.

Dominique Sanda, one of Bresson's "models" plays a woman who in the…

This is another film by Joël Séria, preceding Marie-poupée and though I prefer personally the latter Don't Deliver Us From Evil is a wonderful, disturbing piece of cinema and contains themes which are just almost too juicy and satisfying to analyse - from the portrayl of the main characters to the overall atmosphere and a haunting score.

Anne and Lore are two pubescent teen girls (their real age is never stated) who go to a Catholic school held by nuns.…

Marie-poupée tells a story about a young woman (played by Jeanne Goupil) who meets a man (André Dussollier). They get married and the girl is head over heels with her husband. But this isn't any conventional romance, a conventional love story or a conventional film by it's subject matter by any means. Let me lighten that up some.

Marie is a sweet young woman who likes frilly dresses and has this naive cute deer look in her eyes. Claude, the…

My first Jean Rollin film, a vampiric horror / love story which focuses on one man's fixation on a childhood memory and his attempts to find his first love. The tone of the film is blank and lonely - in lack of better words. The film features scantily clad women - both human and vampires but most of all I was left wondering that all so familiar myth of wanting something from the past. Something unattainable perhaps which you want…
