Inhalt: |
Jean Rollin's The Escapees revisits the director's fascination with pairs of women who wander, dreamIike, through a modern dystopia (Requiem for a Vampire, Two Orphan Vampires). Two female patients one rebellious (Laurence Dubas), the other despondent (Christiane Coppe) flee the grounds of a mentaI hospital and drift across the French countryside. After finding refuge among a band of gypsy-like exotic dancers, they cross paths with a petty criminaI (Marianne VaIiot), an aging fortune-telIer (Louise Dhour) and a quartet of swingers (incIuding Brigitte Lahaie) with sinister intentions. Punctuated by moments of unexpected violence and Iyrical beauty (as when the emotionless Marie returns to life in a vacant ice rink), The Escapees is among RoIIin's most personaI films, and has been remastered in HD from the originaI 35mm negative. |
