| Brief Description: | This classic, cult vampire favorite, originally cut by more than 12
minutes, is restored to the full film that director Harry Kumel
intended. A pair of newlyweds stop at a posh French hotel and
encounter the Scarlet Countess (Delphine Seyrig), a stunning and
seductive woman who, according to the hotel owner, hasn't aged a day
in 40 years. Before long, the couple's innocent intrigue leads them
into a sexually charged game of cat and mouse as the mysterious
countess turns deadly. "Subtle, stately, stunningly colored and
exquisitely directed. The most artistic vampire shocker since Blood
and Roses" (The New York Times). With Andrea Rau, Danielle Ouimet and
John Karlen. In English. |
