Jean Rollin was a character quite unusual in the world of cinema. He worked in horror, exploitation of, eroticism, pornography. He has made films that he wanted to do very strongly, whereas others would have done without turning. He had influenced his artistic talent to the market in a very heavy, thick. Despite this, he also managed to write as often peculiar mark on his films. He has made genre films although probably his character would lead him to directing films rarefied, totally "artistic."
But this is common with other directors. The world is full of people who would like to do something "up" and find themselves doing something "low" and can do it so well that make it indispensable. What makes it unusual - and only - Rollin is his style, his visual ability, his original set of "poetry" and soap opera, and sentiment is blood, violence and philosophy. Few others have challenged the viewer to exploitation as he did. Few have made a product so different from what he expected. Sometimes, for some reason, it is compared to Jesus Franco, but could not be more different directors, emphasized the same as Rollin.
A Rollin I devoted an episode of my series on Kings of Exploitation Segnocinema , so I will not dwell: there I wrote what I think of the Rollin film, sometimes exhausting, but often fascinating. If I can recommend one of his films to anyone wishing to celebrate the memory with a vision board La rose de fer , the sum of the vision rolliniana.
