First of all I watch this film because of **Brigitte Lahaie** and this is also the first **Jean Rollin** film I have watched. I don't know if his other films are like this but in general this film is a bit 'illogical'. I like the tranquility and subtlety of this film, mostly because of its urban settings, it's lovely according to me. The 'enough' nudity, including a soft sex scene which I think is actually optional, is shown in this film and adds to the flavor of this film even though it will be eaten away by its flimsy plot. It's thrilling of course, plus with some 'bright red' blood, you know what I mean. However, this film is slow, yes it's slow and personally I generally don't like slow films. There are many scenes which actually may not be 'slow' but it seems like they are intentionally made that way to make the audience expect what will come next. It might be meant to accompany the 'illogical' plot, maybe. There is almost no story development of course but thankfully there is a lot of dialogue. People don't have to read subtitles to understand a film like this but it's melancholy when you know what the characters are talking about, especially since this film heavy on dialogue. I can't say if the ending of this film is good or not but it's ethereal. The last thing I want to say is that it is not pleasant to see people who have no memory whatsoever who are like 'blanks' in a mental institution but they feel locked up or imprisoned there and want to get out of there. Quote from the film: _The only thing left for us to do is to touch our own bodies. It's our only pleasure. The only one we don't forget._
