LA MORTE VIVANTE aka THE LIVING DEAD GIRL (vinyl) édition limitée

Description

As night falls, two men break into the underground crypt of a deserted castle to deposit metal barrels containing radioactive waste. Having learned that the recently deceased chatelaine rests in a nearby vault with all her jewels, the two intruders decide to desecrate her tomb. As they open the coffin of Catherine Valmont, the chatelaine's daughter, an earthquake shakes the crypt, releasing gases and waste stored in the barrels. The girl's body is perfectly preserved, and the toxic fumes bring the deceased back to life...Banned in Germany due to its raw violence, the film finds a chaotic balance thanks to Françoise Blanchard's razor-edge performance as Catherine Valmont, offering Rollin one of his most tragic heroines. Meanwhile, Philippe d'Aram concocts a score as ethereal as it is captivating, perfectly serving the macabre beauty of the French master of fantasy. An unknown gem of the Francophone soundtrack.
