I've watched several vampire films with girl/girl content during this project, some subtle, some arty, some cheesy. But Vampyros Lesbos cuts through all the subtext crap and puts it right there in the title.It's... there's... oh, come on- it's not something most people watch for a plot (though there's a bit of one), but for the writhing naked ladies- it's an exploitation flick pure and simple from Jess Franco. This is the first of Franco's movies I've seen- but knowing he's directed a women in prison movie gives me some context.
Vampyros Lesbos has a seventies score and the sets- including a great spiral staircase with silver foil wall paper- are textbook examples of seventies design.
Really.
That's one of those things that helps me get through movies like this.
Three months down, nine more to go!
