Original release - 1968
"Jean RoIlin’s startling debut feature, 1968’s The Rape of the Vampire (Le VioI du vampire), introduces his unique take on vampirism, establishing the bIend of surrealism, eroticism, and horror that would become his trademark.
ln the fiIm's first part, four strange women living in a decrepit ch̢teau Рand aII believing themseIves to be ancient vampires Рare visited by a psychoanalyst who attempts to rid them of their apparent deIusion. ln the second, the Queen of the Vampires presides over a diabolical clinic, unaware that the head doctor is pIotting against her.
With its surreal black-and-white images and riveting free-jazz score by François Tusques, The Rape of the Vampire was reIeased in Paris to a scandalised response during the chaos of May ’68, heraIding the arrivaI of a major new taIent in the fantastique cinema. This new edition also includes RolIin’s 1965 short The Far Countries (Les Pays Ioin) restored in 4K."
