Movie Review - Daughters of Darkness
Les Lèvres Rouges (1971)
directed by Harry Kümel
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
As lesbian vampire numero uno, Delphine Seyrig exhibits exactly the same charms she used to seduce young cowering Antoine Doinel beneath the sheets. This time it's Léaud who's missing, and in place of his romantic cynicism you get Hungarian royalty playing at newlyweds, looking and infighting just like Tom Cruise. The groom isn't scared; neither was I. Pretty, kinky Louise Brooks looked hungry; she dies on a straight-edge razor, he dies with a knife. Empty-handed, everybody.
