The Films Of Jean Rollin – Various Artists (Flac)

Entering Rollin�s cinematic world may require higher than usual levels of what the poet Samuel Coleridge termed �the willing suspension of disbelief,� but hang in there, the rewards are multifarious. Slow and seemingly disjointed, Rollin�s erotic horror films don�t proceed along well-worn, generically approved grooves, their rhythms closer to the freewheeling jazz that provides the score for his second feature, The Nude Vampire, than, say, the more conventional dramatic structure of a Hammer vampire film. Nudity is de rigueur, and deployed without shame. As a rule, violence is entirely histrionic, presented as little more than an abstract rhetorical gesture, an excuse for the spilling of copious amounts of stage blood. No coincidence, then, that parts of Rollin�s first and final features were shot inside the legendary Grand Guignol theater, the premiere venue for stage fright and splatter. When it comes to directing actors drawn largely from the ranks of the amateur or else recruited from the less salubrious realms of pornography, soft and hard, Rollin can be considered the Robert Bresson of Euroshock; his characters tend to declaim poetically wrought lines in a flat, affectless, nearly somnambulistic manner that only adds to the films� off-kilter and dreamlike atmosphere.
