5.0 out of 5 starsA masterpiece but not for everyone
By Alexander J. C. Turner on 14 Feb. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
If you are looking for popcorn entertainment forget it! If you need a plot that makes sense to hold your hand then forget it! If you're looking for porn definitely forget it! But if you feel you might enjoy being guided into a labyrinthine dreamscape somewhere between the paintings of Paul Delvaux and Jean Cocteau then you should track this film down. Rollin is one of a handful of film-makers who was able to make films with the logic of dream. Some will be bored and frustrated as the other reviews show and although I would give this film five stars I would also offer caution to those classically minded people who think cinema should follow a particular form or belong to a particular genre or make sense. The Nude Vampire is not a film to be understood. It is, however, a rare and uncompromising vision... Rollin, in most of his best films, works like a poet and if you don't get it then this is okay. He combines elements of classic movie serials with his own obsesseions and dreams. The Nude Vampire might be hard going for someone coming to this kind of cinema for the first time but it might equally be something you find yourself watching many times and becoming more and more enchanted by. In this sense it is very much in the eye of the beholder. But the jarring experimental soundtrack, the beautiful colours, the strange plotting and odd performances all work together to create a film much more than the sum of its parts. Even some of the people who hate this film on first viewing often find themselves returning to it haunted by some of the imagery.

4.0 out of 5 starsLa Vampire Nue! Kino Lorber Blu-ray Review...
By Paul WJM on 10 Mar. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Following the discovery of an oddly mute woman pursued by mysterious animal-masked (à la The Wicker Man) individuals, a bored, bourgeois young man by the name of Pierre adopts a certain degree of interest in his snobbish father's covert nightly activities. His interest and cunning gains him access to the exclusive-entry mansion where the running female had escaped from earlier - inside he discovers groups of masked individuals indulging in strange nocturnal activities (sounds like my local council). The blood/death cult appear to be willingly sacrificing themselves to the very woman that Pierre came across earlier, and despite the fact that she was apparently shot dead before his rapid departure, she now walks around looking rather healthy and all too happy to feast on the life fluid of the recently despatched cult members.

The Blu-ray from Kino, in their collaboration with Redemption, is part of a very welcome series of the director's films, and it goes without saying that it's a notable improvement over older presentations. Having been watching The Nude Vampire since the Redemption VHS days in the nineties it's pleasing to view these films recognising the kind of quality that I believe represents how they were meant to be viewed. Colour is bold, while sharpness is less consistent than the likes of Fascination but detail is pretty good nonetheless. However, I do feel that the transfer reveals limitations with the darker sequences in this earlier effort, not that that is to be considered a criticism in any way. Audio tracks are thoughtfully provided in both native French and English - fans will opt for the former without a doubt. Literate and clear English subtitles are of course present.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsRollin's Second Film
By Johnny Guitar on 27 May 2008
Format: DVD
Ignore its silly title, this is an early Jean Rollin - from 1969 & his second feature film. It starts out as a kind of avant garde puzzle in the style of Robbe-Grillet - there's a mansion, erotic performances being staged there - or are they for real? - and various different sects, cults & conspiracies being played out. Some characters wander around with big mythical monster masks on their heads as in a Cocteau film. Unfortunately Rollin is not Cocteau, or even Robbe-Grillet, & the film fizzles out with risible dialogue, flat narrative & inept B-movie action sequences (good guys shooting it out against the bad guys etc). The film is quite surreal but the dream-like quality only adds to the film's tendency to lull the viewer to sleep.
The DVD includes a funny filmed interview in which an academic film critic Dr Patricia MacKormick suggests that Rollin's films are feminist parables about subverting the patriarchal family - a theory to which Rollin responds with good-natured bafflement.
Regular horror fans (or sex film fans) will find this film extremely tedious. However, if you are fan of Rollin & Eurotica from this period I would just about recommend Nude Vampire - it does contain good scenes, images and examples of Rollin's style & obsessions - but given the vintage I found it disappointingly uneven.

5.0 out of 5 starscinematic art!!!
By George on 17 Jun. 2015
Format: DVD
whenever I view a film by jean rollin
what nearly instantly occurs to me is
it's bizarre, obscure , transcendent,
hence to my liking
as it is real cinematic art!
there is no point in me trying to give away the plot...
it's those images he conjures up in his films
that will forever linger in my mind.
now then,
if you expect blood - spattered creatures to prowl jean rollin's films
or people getting slashed all over the place in their dozens
or anything that resembles this kind of triviality or commonplace or ,for all I care ,trash
this film won't definitively be up your street!
so think it over what you're really looking for!
I've just been rating the film the way I perceive it
which may altogether be different from the way you perceive it,
but that's the scintillating thing about art
it cannot be defined ,is hence open to all kinds of interpretations & perceptions!
