one of my favorite french directors has bit the dust
:argh!:
Jean Rollin, director of Grapes of Death, Living Dead Girl and about a dozen Lesbian Vampire movies, and founder of the French gore film.
The really cool about his films was that he could flip between gorgeous, and twisted imagery to frustratingly bad film making. Usually in the same movie :)
Either way if I saw his name on a film I automatically bought it, so I guess Jess Franco is next.
