Grapes of Death
1978, Not rated, 90 min. Directed by Jean Rollin. Starring Marie-Georges Pascal and Félix Marten.
Has any filmmaker combined sex and violence with quite the disturbing potency as French filmmaker Jean Rollin? Unafraid to switch his career trajectory between arthouse shockers and hardcore skin flicks, he melded those elements perfectly in 1978’s Les raisins de la mort, a heady blend of eco-horror and eroticism that could be easily double-billed with either David Cronenberg’s Rabid or George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, made all the more memorable for a magical, disturbing performance from his future muse: former porn star Brigitte Lahaie as the enigmatic Tall Blonde Woman. – Richard Whittaker
