- Synopsis:
"Le masque de la Méduse" was, sadly, to be Jean Rollin's last film and was, strangely, very similar to his first, 'Le Viol du Vampire' (1968), in that both were filmed as short features and then returned to by Rollin who filmed additional material to make an extension to the original film. Masque reinvents the legend with Medusa alive in the modern world, her memory gone she wonders from place to place and ends up at The Théatre du Grand-Guignol, the source of much inspration for Rollin in real-life. Here the film, fittingly perhaps, is part theatre and part cinema, but all Rollin. Surreal, dreamy, macabre, erotic and beautiful it is a fittingly creative end for one of cinema's most original directors. - Actors:
