Product Description

Product Description

Lips of Blood tells of a young man who has visions of an old castle and a ghostly woman in white. Over time he becomes increasingly obsessed with her and she appears to him, leading him to a dark gothic cemetery. She then gets him to open up a number of coffins which unleash a hoard of blood crazed female vampires who cause mayhem in Paris.

What follows is a series of beautiful bloody and perverse vampiric set pieces that make Lips of Blood one of Rollin s most successful vampire films

From Amazon.co.uk

There's no director like Jean Rollin, the French horror fantasist who mixes the poetry of Jean Cocteau with the emotionless performances of Robert Bresson in his erotic vampire films. Lips of Blood is one of his best, an Oedipal tale of a young man haunted by visions of a forgotten childhood when he spies a poster of a coastal castle at a party. Jean-Louis Philippe, a hopelessly bland and flat performer, wanders through the deserted piazzas and fountains of his suddenly odd and alien hometown, eerily lit up in the dead of night. He's a man lost in a world where a woman in white silently materialises like a supernatural muse, gunmen appear from the inky-black night, and four naked vampire girls prowl the streets for blood and watch over him like dark angels. It's a tale of blood, sex, and haunting desire full of nudity and death and told in an austere, surreal style born of forced budgetary austerity. Rollin is slipshod with his action scenes and stiff with performers, but once he leaves the confines of the "real" world (where he's oddly uncomfortable) his style creates a trancelike mood to complement the beauty of his poetically macabre vision. The film our hero watches early in the picture is Rollin's own Shiver of the Vampires. --Sean Axmaker --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsHypnotic
By BavaBlood on 15 Aug. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Jean Rollin's art films aren't going to be to the taste of the mainstream horror fan. Lips of Blood is a surreal vampire film that is like a dream in form and style. Visually its amazing. Dramatic lighting and wide angle compositions made it startling to look at. Also there are the nude young women, bright colours, blood and lovely scenery. Thats what you get. Dont expect a strong narrative or horror set pieces. The film makes no attempt to create suspenseful horror scenes. In fact, the few scenes of action are executed in a very clumbsy way and more could have been made of the blood drinking scenes. However, its a haunting film that will be enjoyed by people who like El Topo, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders and other surreal, visual films.

5.0 out of 5 starsReduce 3 stars if you hate jean rollin films!
By Mr. K. Arts on 22 Jan. 2012
Format: Blu-ray
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE BLU-RAY!

Ok, no reason to go into any sort of synopsis with this one, as like most rollin movies simply describing the plot is pretty pointless as narrative is one of the least important things in any rollin movie. This film, like most other rollin films is more about atmosphere and dream like imagery and feels like sitting through someones nightmare. In this sense lips of blood this is no different, though rollin does attempt to insert some commentary on film and perhaps a few autobigraphical touches to the preceedings.

If you dislike jean rollin films, don't bother with this, as its not a film to change any minds about his work. Rollin is like the cinematic equivalent of marmite, your either going to love his work or hate it. For me, i've been enjoying his work a lot more as I get older, and the use of many attractive naked girls certainly adds appeal, but many will probably find his work far too obtuse to really enjoy.

As for the disc, well its a Region free blu-ray. Totally uncut and sits up there with midnight legacy's alien 2 and the Fernando di leo criome collection from raro as textbook examples of how cult movies should be presented. Theres scant extras aside from some interviews and an intro from the late rollin himself but we also get a fantastic booklet from Tim lucas that is well worth a read.

Overall, if you like rollin's movies you will DEFINATELY want to get this blu-ray for the gorgeous transfer alone, if rollins not your cup of tea then save your cash.

3.0 out of 5 starsObscure Rollin
By A Customer on 5 Jan. 2004
Format: DVD
OK- the plot is confused, and I am not at all clear (even having twice watched the film) what he is trying to say. Appears to be the story of a young man caught in a story over a young girl's past. As usual he ends up in a uninhabited gothic ruin, with semi-clad women making obscure pronouncements about the visitor's doom. Not Rollin's best, but again uses camerawork,light and nudity in a way that is wholly his own. For experienced Rollin fans only.
