The
Living Dead Girl review by Shade Rupe
Marina Pierro, a veteran actress and favorite of Walerian Borowczyk (appearing in five of his films), is the lost girl's lover, guilty of not fulfilling a childhood suicide pact. Francoise Blanchard is the lost zombie (although quite easily the most beautiful zombie woman in cinema history), awakened from death by a toxic spill. A magnificently bloody work, Rollin's lost girl wreaks butcherous havoc with delicate strokes. Whether reaching into the throat of a victim, or hovering over a nude woman's well-arranged corpse, this massively poetic film glides along wires of both soft beauty and ferocius bodily decline. A masterwork integrating the talents of all involved, including the notable score by Philippe D'Aram, accentuating Rollin's own mindset with his tuned-in orchestrations. A truly fine cinematic moment for all. Image has gone to the careful trouble of presenting this most commercial, and clean, of Rollin's films with a nice clean transfer and fine soundwork. Included are a 3.5-minute trailer, a slide show of poster art and stills and liner notes by Marc Morris. OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://www.image-entertainment.com
