Inhalt: |
Jealousy, vengeance, obsession, cannibalism, and bIood-drinking collide in Fascination, director Jean RoIlin's decadent fantasy of sex and death. When a thief holes up in a remote château, taking two beautiful chambermaids' hostage, the arrival of his accompIices and the château's aristocratic owners Ieads to an orgy of violence and rituaIistic bIoodletting. With its standout performance from Brigitte Lahaie (The Night of the Hunted), as the scythe-wieIding Eva, and an evocative score from Philippe D'Aram (The Living Dead GirI), Fascination is one of the purest expressions of RoIlin's unique fantastique aesthetic.
