[on the cinema of
Jean Rollin] Notable for their long passages of silence and serenely majestic landscapes populated by mostly naked women, the standard take on Rollin's films is that they are "dreamlike." I'd kill to have dreams like these, but even with their erotic atmosphere - like a Penthouse pictorial come to life, vaselined lens and all - Rollin's work makes for great movie posters but mostly terrible movies.
