La fiancée de Dracula (Dracula's Fiancee, 2002)
"A figure in white. She was moving."
"Alive?"
"She's dead, but retains a semblance of life, thanks to him."
"He loves her that much?"
"Passionately."

Lahaie has a highly memorable cameo and the young#cast of largely unknowns do well to maintain the artsy (if sometimes fartsy) atmosphere. not an auteur at his best‚ perhaps‚ but an old#master in reflective and playful mood. so far Two Orphan Vampires is the best of the late stage Rollin I've seen but this is by no means a#bad film; indeed‚ if he ever made a bad film‚ I've yet to see it

Special features are listed below.
Special features:
Dracula’s Fiancee audio commentary by Lost Girls: The Phantasmagorical Cinema of Jean Rollin editor Samm Deighan
As Eurohorror pioneer Jean Rollin approached the sunset of his career, he distilled the dreamlike images and themes of his work into films that were deeply personal and unapologetically cryptic.
Dracula’s Fiancee stars Jacques Regis as a vampire hunter whose pursuit of the descendants of Count Dracula leads him to a convent, The Order of the White Virgins), where supernatural beings of a parallel world are unleashed, including a bloodthirsty ogress (Magalie Aguado), a wolf-woman (Brigitte Lahaie), and a young woman who is being prepared as Dracula’s bride (Cyrille Iste).
Also included is Lost in New York, perhaps the most dreamlike of Rollin’s “sister” films, a modern-day Alice in Wonderland in which two siblings explore the wastelands of Manhattan.

Les deux orphelines vampires (Two Orphan Vampires, 1997)
"We are sublime disorder. We're from before their god. They made him say 'Let there be light' to cut our night in half. But their order is chaos. Our disorder is mad poetry. Our existence awakens, and our night is clarity. The two orphan girls roar alone in the night, like flames."
#Les deux orphelines vampires#two orphan vampires#jean rollin#films i done watched#French cinema#Blood tw#Alexandra Pic#Isabelle Teboul#Natalie Perrey#Gudule#Bernard Charnacé#Nada Le Hoangan#Nathalie Karsenty#Anissa Berkani Rohmer#Véronique Djaouti#Brigitte Lahaie#Tina Aumont#Sandrine Thoquet#Melanie Karalli#Ohhhh I did not expect to enjoy this half as much as I did. I mean a Rollin film from the 90s? But wow what a pleasant surprise#A strangely sweet and elegiac waltz through an alternate Paris dreamworld: one of vampires and she wolves and ghouls#Feels less like a horror film tho and more like a sort of... Dark fairy tale. The two vampires at the heart of the story are unusual too in#Being so damn charming. Pic and Teboul channel this perfect mix of childlike innocence with a darker more dangerous animalistic edge#Rollin reins in his propensity for strong sex and violence and concentrates instead on philosophical musings about the nature#Of identity; the meeting of religion with magical realism; immortality in theory and in practice. A thoughtful meditative and weirdly#Very moving film which rises above its genre origins. Outside of the Iron Rose (and I'm not sure anything will ever quite replicate that#Experience) this has been easily my favourite Rollin film so far. Really kind of wonderful. Oh and the Tina Aumont cameo? Absolutely#Brilliant. According to imdb trivia she accidentally learnt the wrong part and had to improvise her scenes (as well as being deeply upset#Bc she worried she'd ruined the film). I hope someone told her how good she did. A few moments of screen time but the most hauntingly weird#And strangely affecting part of the film.
