Requiem pour un Vampire (uncut) Jean Rollin

Requiem pour un Vampire
Frankreich 1971, Erotik-Horror

Many fans consider Requiem for a vampire as one of the best films by French cultdirector Jean Rollin.
This strange mix of surrealism, eroticism and horror manages to casta tantalising spell on its viewers, by use of superb photography, wonderful locations, a haunting musical score and last but not least the sensuality of the two highly memorable female leads.

Two girls, dressed up as clowns, are on the run.
For who or what we do not know.
The girls run through deserted fields, cemeteries and forests.
At last they arrive in a remote castle, where they meet a vampire and his servants The vampire is the last of his breed anddriven to melancholia because his decadent empire is crumbling before his feet.
But he has plans with the two girls: they have to join him and his following.
A strange ceremony is planned The initiation is about to begin...

Zwei junge Mädchen flüchten nach einem Banküberfall aufs Land.
Auf einem Friedhof ruhen sie sich aus und werden beinahe lebendig begraben.
Ihre weitere Flucht führt sie in ein verlassenes Kastell, welches von einem dem Untergang geweihten Vampir bewohnt wird.
Sie geraten in dessen Einfluß und finden sich bald in der Folterkammer des Gemäuers wieder . . .
