Jean Rollin

Tagline: Jean Rollin, the master of French erotic horror who turned the macabre into a flourish of cinematic art. Born in 1938 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, Jean Rollin was a film director active from the 1960s until the early 2000s, primarily in the horror and fantasy genre, with a unique flair for weaving eroticism into his narratives. His most notable works include "The Rape of the Vampire" and "The Living Dead Girl," though his oeuvre was largely overlooked by major film festivals, his authorial style - characterized by surreal landscapes and a poetic blend of horror and eroticism - has cultivated a dedicated cult following. Jean, with his unflinching vision and unabashed approach to taboo themes, was a cinematic rebel who painted his macabre tales with an artist's brush, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of French cinema.
