“I very much disliked the whole thing, I canu0026#39;t tell whether this or Iron Rose is worse but they both are very bad movies in my view. Things happen in this movie at least, but itu0026#39;s so mixed up and boring itu0026#39;s hardly a movie at all. I never connected with any of the characters at all. Running at only 52:08 minutes, I have my doubts whether is even supposed to be a u0026quot;real movieu0026quot; or Jean thought of it as such. I mean the movie was mainly just random shots in New York with two actors when Jean was on a visit there, itu0026#39;s ridiculous. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJean Rollin is really a mixed bag. For me heu0026#39;s at his best when he sticks to vampires and castles and artistic/strange symbolism and atmosphere. Those are what he knows, what heu0026#39;s about, what he bring an incredible magic and intrigue to. Heu0026#39;s worst when he tries too hard to talk openly in a film about concepts such as u0026quot;a dream within a dreamu0026quot; and having random things occur for no apparent reason. You can sort of see what heu0026#39;s trying to do at times but for me it just doesnu0026#39;t cut it.”
