Trivia:
Because of the events of May 1968 in Paris, French distributors, fearing for the box office, decided to freeze their activities until it went back to normal. As a result, no other new feature was released during that period apart from this one. Consequently, by lack of competitors, it became the most successful film of the year in France. more

Amazing visual delirium, 19 August 2009
6/10
Author: Mathis_Vogel from Birmingham, UK

I was expecting the film to be incoherent. The first segment was very linear and normal, with extremely expressive and original camera angles employed. Second part , "La Reine Des Vampires" was a lot more confusing, but exhibited the same level of visual excellence and dreamlike, naive atmosphere. I wasn't put off or bored even though the story became very fragmented and I gave up on following the constantly multiplying numbers of characters. I find films like Franco's "Succubus" or Jodorowsky's "Holy Mountain" to be slow and pretentious, but I didn't have have any problem with the similarly haphazard and unstructured "Le viol...". It doesn't feel artificial because it's got its heart in the right place, which can be said about majority of Rollin's films. He may not have professional actors, but he nevertheless gets them to deliver emotional performances and create moving, if not realistic, characters. The acting may be unpolished, but Rollin has a gift for drama which he displays more consistently then the other Eurotica directors(Franco, D'Amato) with whom he often gets bundled as a sexploitation director. The story is a mess, but a poetic one, and images are arresting. In fact, I found "Le viol" to be more more adventurous with cinematography then director's more popular films "Fascination" and "La Morte Vivante". I have the warmest feelings for this very brave film and will be re-watching it again.
