This film was so beautiful, that I could feel my heart breaking as I watched it. I've never felt so strongly about anything as I do this film. I watched this with the expectation of being amused, and instead I was inspired.
I don't even know what to say about this film...there isn't a way to express it with words.
All I can say is that it changed my dna, it's a part of me...it's a memory that isn't stored in my mind...but...in all of my cells...it permeated me.
Beautiful.
shareVampiros Lesbos is an extended film essay, based on Franco's lectures at a women's college at Cambridge University in 1968. In it, Franco addresses his thoughts on "the question of women and film," interpreted by Franco as many questions. In Vampiros Lesbos, Franco ponders the significant question of whether or not a woman could find the same meaning in life as men, exemplified my Count Dracula. In doing so, he examines women's historical experience as well as the distinctive struggle of the woman artist. Franco defines the question of women and film as being three inextricable questions: women and what they are like; women and the women they sleep with; and women and hoe lesbian intercourse is depicted.
shareI know what you mean, and I love when a film gives me that feeling! If you enjoyed "Vampyros Lesbos" so much might i suggest seeing Jess Franco's "Venus In Furs" if you haven't already? There is another film that many consider Jess Franco's best work, "Love Letters of A Portuguese Nun." and finally, a film I just discovered recently, Jean Rollin's "Fascination." Then let us here know what you think..enjoy!
