Fans de Brigitte Lahaie

Fascination (blood lips)
Fascination - Jean Rollin Fascination has been recognised by fans and critics alike as the most accessible film of Jean Rollin's sex-vampire cycle. The plot itself is minimalist: a thief (Jean Marie Lemaire), on the run from fellow gang members, takes refuge in a chateau populated only by two young women?Eva (Brigitte Lahaie) and Elisabeth (Franka Mai). In line with the conventions of soft-core erotica, the man is seduced and lured to stay for a forthcoming soiree, while the young ladies?themselves indulging in lesbian encounters?turn out to be initiates in a cult of bourgeois women addicted to drinking human blood. Progressing into the realms of horror and the attendant bloodlust, Eva, having murdered the pursuing gang members, is herself sacrificed by Elisabeth, who ultimately kills the thief and joins the blood cult. Though it may not exhibit quite the ponderous-yet-lyrical quality of Rollin's earlier films (see, for example, the "virtually plotless ramble" and "astonishing imagery"[1] of Lèvres de Sang [Lips of Blood, 1975]), Fascination nonetheless remains a difficult text for the novice viewer?even the horror fan?unfamiliar with non-mainstream, non-American cinema.
