THE ESCAPEES - BLU-RAY
£18.00
Jean Rollin's THE ESCAPEES revisits the directors 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 Copps);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 criminal (Marianne Valiot), an aging
fortune-teller (Louise Dhour) and a quartet of swingers (including
Brigitte Lahaie) with sinister intentions. Punctuated by moments of
unexpected violence and lyrical beauty (as when the emotionless Marie
returns to life in a vacant ice rink), THE ESCAPEES is among Rollins'
most personal films, and has been remastered in HD from the original
35mm negative.
