Fascination 4K UltraHD - Limited Edition
Fascination 4K UltraHD - Limited Edition
This limited edition release features a hard slip cover and exclusive 80-page book with a new essay by Vanessa Morgan, an archival introduction by Jean Rollin, a reprint of the short story by Jean Lorrain that inspired the film’s screenplay, a previously untranslated archival interview with Rollin, an archival interview with actor Fanny Magier, and full film credits.
Jealousy, vengeance, obsession, cannibalism, and blood-drinking collide in Fascination, director Jean Rollin’s decadent fantasy of sex and death.
When a thief holes up in a remote château, taking two beautiful chambermaids hostage, the arrival of his accomplices and the château’s aristocratic owners leads to an orgy of violence and ritualistic bloodletting.
With its standout performance from Brigitte Lahaie (The Night of the Hunted), as the scythe-wielding Eva, and an evocative score from Philippe D’Aram (The Living Dead Girl), Fascination is one of the purest expressions of Rollin’s unique fantastique aesthetic.
