Nocturnal Forum

Must have a thread here on the new forums for this long awaited Rollin film! For those who have yet to see some production photos etc.. Here they are..

TRANSFIGURED NIGHT Photos

Before this came out here and on another board, I spent three months trying to translate the damn French Properly on that page and the related French ones to figure out if this was actually happening or not, as well as to find out what was going on!

I am very excited, although I am not sure about those pictures, the museum seems like an interesting setting of course.

Who is that woman? It's driving me crazy!

The woman I believe is Rollin's long time friend and director of photography Véronique Djaouti-Travers. She has worked with Rollin in various ways, I believe she was in TWO ORPHAN VAMPIRES and had something to do with the script for another more recent Rollin film.

Ok thank you! curiosity was killing the cat!

Has anyone been to that anatomical museum in Italy? (I think it's in Italy)

you should have asked me kathleen - i'd have translated it for you. french is my second language (after danish) - english is only my third language

and yes, i believe steve is write - i can ask jean if you like when i go over to paris at the end of the month. just to sign my papers before moving to paris permanantly in the springtime. hooray!

I should have! Are you Freudstein? Ha ha!
May I ask you again if I have a question in French?

Any info you can get from Jean would be appreciated greatly!
You are so lucky to be moving to Paris!
It is a dream of mine. Good Luck!

my previous incarnation was as freudstein indeed. living in a basement in a house in new whitby was proving too cold for me

of course you can ask me a question - if you have one in french (or italian) - happy to help out.

lived in paris before - want to again - this is why i am leaving london. as my friends will tell you - london and london life is just not me (except for going out shopping at weekends ) - also i want to get back to my european roots being back on the mainland

This straight from Fantasia's press release!

Frissons de fer – Un hommage à Jean Rollin

A man wanders a deserted beach in search of his wfe. In a graveyard, a pair of vampire orphans recall their former lives. A naked woman armed with a knife steals into a castle, killing all she encounters. Thanks to these unforgettable images, the universe of French filmmaker and writer Jean Rollin haunts the dreams and nightmares of lovers of marginal cinema. Since Rape of the Vampire, his first feature film from 1967, Rollin has brought his unique vision to the seventh art, exploring his thematic fetishes and experimenting with a theatrical mise en scene. Forty years later, the director has more than 20 films to his credit, different pieces of a larger whole, irrefutable proof of an artistic approach that has matured over the decades.

The Fantasia festival is proud to pay tribute to the iconoclastic visionary by presenting the world premiere of La nuit des horloges, his latest work. Film lovers will also have a chance to discover, on the big screen, Le frisson des vampires, a veritable masterwork of macabre poetry. This screening will be proceeded by a special ceremony at which Rollin will recieve a special award in honour of his entire career. With this long-due honour, Fantasia underlines the revolutionary work of a true pieoneer of fantastic cinema.


I'm there for sure now!

I need to renew my passport!

Le frisson des vampires will be playing on Sunday July 15th and a nuit des horloges will be playing on Monday July 16th!
