One of Jean Rollin's best-loved films, Lips of Blood (Lèvres de sang) finds the master of the fantastique marshalling all of his obsessions - ruined châteaux, remote beaches, abandoned graveyards, mysterious twins, and female vampires. When a photograph of a decrepit seaside château evokes a childhood vision of an encounter with a mysterious girl, Frederick is compelled to investigate. Soon, he uncovers a surreal and erotic netherworld of vampirism from which he might never return. Starring regular Rollin actors Jean-Loup Philippe (The Rape of the Vampire), Natalie Perrey (The Iron Rose), and twins Cathy and Marie-Pierre Castel (Requiem for a Vampire), Lips of Blood is a tour de force within Rollin's inimitable oeuvre.
