‘The Escapees’ review at Fascination.


It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for my Rollinades strand, so thanks are due to Jeremy Richey of the consistently excellent Fascination weblog for inviting me to contribute a guest-post, thus providing me with the impetus I needed to put together a review of one of Jean Rollin’s more underappreciated films, 1981’s ‘Les Eschappees’ aka ‘The Escapees’ aka ‘The Runaways’.

The review is up there right now, and in some ways I think it manages to get to the heart of what I love about Rollin’s films more clearly than anything I’ve written in the past, so, uh, yeah – by all means give it a look, if you’re thus inclined.

I read it and it expresses very well what I find fascinating about Rollin. Thanks for finding the words.
