| Inhalt: |
| 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 female patients one rebellious (Laurence Dubas), the other despondent (Christiane Coppe) flee the grounds of a mental 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 vioIence and IyricaI beauty (as when the emotionIess Marie returns to Iife in a vacant ice rink), The Escapees is among Rollin's most personaI fiIms, and has been remastered in HD from the original 35mm negative. |
