Daughters of Darkness - Les Levres Rouges

**space debris** · 21-01-2007, 02:20 PM

After investigating some of the links mentioned in the DVD Vulture thread I discovered that my favorite Belgian movie is now out on DVD.

Sports a great score by Francois de Roubaix, too (another favorite)...

So - if I want to get the original Levres Rouges OST - how much should I be expected to part with ?
The two auctions on popsike are $100 and more but those were from 2004...

Any idea ? (Mr. Murt ? Jens ??)

**wickerman** · 21-01-2007, 02:57 PM

Between €100 and €150, its seems like it hardly turns up anymore.

Oosually sla boorners functioon tha whey so arse ter build oop th'suspense.
"Daughters of Darkness" 'as neya suspense, juist sheer boreda. Wallace wor ne'er sae borid wif a 'orror mouffie oan seein' it fust tahhm arse ah wor wif dis moofie (an' alser feckin' "Psycho").
(Cannae remembirt th' soundtrack though.)

"Daughters of Darkness" be ridicoolously ower-ratid.
Furvermoe, cuntempoorary-tahhm 'orror be weak formulae frae start.Maist alwheys toorns oot ter be arse excitin' arse pahrtin 'air wif cowd watter cooahmb.

Baist Belgian?
Is "Amelie" Belgian? Iffin sae, tha' gits Wallace's vote.

**wickerman** · 21-01-2007, 03:16 PM

Wallace, its all about the naked women, not the suspense.

OK.

I'll get the DVD first

**beddoes** · 21-01-2007, 03:34 PM

Wallace likes "Amelie". Now THAT'S funny.

I'd rather watch a ten-hour video of a bowel-obstruction surgery -or even HAVE the surgery- than sit through that syrupy dreck again.

**wallace** · 21-01-2007, 04:11 PM

Shut yer yahma, oar ah'll cut yew annover.

Amelie is a mouffie tha Amerikay is afeard ter mak -aybit a person who simplay exists ter spread guid-will an' guidness arund.

Tis detailed arse a Victorian drawin' rheum.
Visually delightfool.

By end o' mouffie, dis warthless toss is awardit th' Amerikayn dream by gittin' a million-a-yahre corntract ter spout weather oan America Terday , oar sum shit-oot-arse loike tha.
AN' FRUEOOT WHOLE MOUFFIE 'IM GOES THROUGH IT AWL SORRAY FER SELF AN' DEPRESS'D.

Wot's th' message 'ere?
Are we surposs'd ter feel sorray for 'im?

Noo fanks, Dooley.

Ah'm sorray insteid fer th'
Third Warld tha ha' ter wake oop evray feckin' marnin' ter watch its chillun dyin' o' starvatioon, an' warse.

**wickerman** · 21-01-2007, 05:45 PM

I think Amelie is a OK film, really eastetic but City of lost children and Delicatessen is much better.

Oh poo. America has made that movie dozens of times over -and it's always bad. I suppose "Pay it Forward" was the latest example. That film, which I saw under duress on an airplane, made me pray that a fatwa be issued for (on?) Kevin Spacey.

Daughetrs Of Darkness IS Belgian. Belgian ditector, Belgian Production company, International cast. Edited in Belgium Etc Etc Etc.

Stunning Film - 80-100 quid on the OST i'd say.

I agree - Frisson Des Vampires is the one for me though - with the screwy teenage 'Acanthus' soundtrack... great stuff.
(Naked Vampire... as sampled here http://www.twistednerve.co.uk/mp3/an...ock_diesel.mp3 in 2000.)

**sermad** · 22-01-2007, 09:10 AM

I have daughters of darkness on a 1 dvd release - it cost like 5 euro from ebay. Its such a bad film!

Hearing the roubaix score come in while two actors are having nooky is class.

**Soul-Fiend** · 22-01-2007, 10:22 AM

I think some people here know I love this film. Everything about it is wondeful and if you dont think so you must be bloody maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

Did anybody check Harry Kumel at a Q&A session about 4 years back on the southbank? Or was I alone there also?

**lespionnelesbienne** · 22-01-2007, 03:18 PM

Jean Rollin is THA MAN!

I basically recommend anything he's done but a good start is Fascination. Great OSTs too. Too bad there are no original releases of them... But Les levres rouges is a great classic in the genre that otherwise is totally dominated by Rollin (his titles "range" from Lips of Blood and the nude vampire to the rape of the vampire and The Shiver of the Vampires). Great great director!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

Oh My God...
Fascination is 'THE' Rollin film!
Brigitte Lahaie is tripple cute and all the opening 'dance round the gramaphone' scene is CLASSIC

I WISH that the red poster with the sithe was printed... the missing link between Amon Duul and Bardot.

i'm with you on this one Andrew!!
i'd agree that the 7" is around 100 quid (although I should have mentioned my copy in the "Greatest Finds" thread, including postage from France it came to about 7 quid

)

Wait il you see Lespionnelesbiennes collection of Jean Rollin 8 MM movies (or whats its called) with a lot of stuff thats not released on DVD / vhs

**Sergio Paradise** · 22-01-2007, 10:36 PM

Didn't Rollin cut hardcore versions as well as the 'normal' releases of his films? Or am I imagining that?

**wickerman** · 22-01-2007, 11:19 PM

I think so, he did some more films under anothername that was leaning more to porn than the one he is famous for

Sorry to get back on thread briefly, but I always find it amusing that John Karlen went from this cult chiller to playing Tyne Daly's husband in Cagney & Lacey!! Any other great career paths you can think of?

Spalding Gray!

Also, the character actor that plays the odd little replicant-maker in Blade Runner (he gets killed by Daryl Hannah at his home, I believe), appeared in a very nasty x-rated grindhouse rape film in the early 70s.

In fact, read SLEAZOID EXPRESS --you'll be astonished how many people have skeletons in their closets.
