Viewing Notes

Continuing my marathon of expiring Rollin flicks on Instawatch… didn’t realize this was his first feature length film, which is really two short films melded together to make a full-length movie. While not particularly good it is a fascinating watch to see the origins of Rollin with his slant on vampirism and eroticism blend. Here it’s those mashed up with a beat poet overlay. Worth viewing but don’t expect to completely understand everything.  It’s more of a visual avant garde piece.
