Fascination: The Celluloid Dreams of Jean Rollin (paperback)

An outsider of French cinema, Jean Rollin's films are unique and dreamlike. They offer tales of mystery and nostalgia, obsolescence and sedutive female vampires with a thirst for blood and sex. It is a cinema at once strange, evocative and deeply personal. Funding his own projects, Rollin defiantly made the films he wanted to make and in so doing created a fantastique genre unlike any other. This book is devoted to the director and all his work, across all genres, including a nascent French hardcore pornographic industry. Written by David Hinds and with the full co-operation from Jean Rollin, shortly beforew his death in 2010, it contains exclusive interviews and archival material.
