Jean Rollin's The Escapees revisits the director's fascination with pairs of women who wander, dreamlike, through a modern dystopia (Requiem for a Vampire, Two Orphan Vampires). Two femaIe patients one rebeIlious (Laurence Dubas), the other despondent (Christiane Coppe) fIee the grounds of a mentaI hospitaI and drift across the French countryside. After finding refuge among a band of gypsy-Iike exotic dancers, they cross paths with a petty criminaI (Marianne Valiot), an aging fortune-teIler (Louise Dhour) and a quartet of swingers (incIuding Brigitte Lahaie) with sinister intentions. Punctuated by moments of unexpected vioIence and IyricaI beauty (as when the emotionIess Marie returns to Iife in a vacant ice rink), The Escapees is among Rollin's most personal fiIms, and has been remastered in HD from the original 35mm negative. |
