One of Jean Rollin’s best-loved films, Lips of Blood ( Lèvres de sang ) finds the master of the fantastique marshalling all of his obsessions – ruined châteaux , remote beaches, abandoned graveyards, mysterious twins, and female vampires.
When a photograph of a decrepit seaside château evokes a childhood vision of an encounter with a mysterious girl, Frederick is compelled to investigate. Soon, he uncovers a surreal and erotic netherworld of vampirism from which he might never return.
Starring regular Rollin actors Jean-Loup Philippe ( The Rape of the Vampire ), Natalie Perrey ( The Iron Rose ), and twins Cathy and Marie-Pierre Castel ( Requiem for a Vampire ), Lips of Blood is a tour de force within Rollin’s inimitable oeuvre .
