A Masterpiece!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Despite a less than glowing review in Lucas Balbo's essential book Obsession: The Films of Jess Franco, I consider Le fille de Dracula one of the director's better efforts. Filmed in widescreen on location in Portugal, Dracula's Daughter looks great, and though Franco can't resist the temptation of zooming in and out on occasion, the overall effect is not nearly as claustrophobic or arty as Obsession suggests. Jose Climent's cinematography is downright handsome at times, and though the story is quite routine--young woman struggles to come to terms with the vampiric legacy she has inherited--a cast of familiar faces, including Daniel White, Britt Nichols, Alberto Dalbes, Howard Vernon, and of course Franco himself render the proceedings good fun. Redemption's PAL DVD is passable, utilizing a lightly-damaged print with a French-language soundtrack and optional English subtitles. a Region 1 disc would go a long way to restoring this film's reputation.

I watched Dracula's Daughter somtime ago and i found it to be a very good film. The film is directed by Jess Franco, who has made many films with sex and female nudity in them. The story is about a young woman(Britt Nichols) goes to visit her very ill grandmother. whilst on her death bed at her family estate, she tells her granddaughter a horrible curse that all the rest of her family are all vampires. The granddaughter decidses to move into the house with her cousin and her uncle.Not long after moving in some of the local village people fall victims to her, the film includes quite a bit of female nudity, lesbianisam, and lesbian sex. I think that it is a very good made film that also features some good actors including (Howard Vernon) who plays Count Karstien. Also Jess Franco plays a part in the film. This film is a very rarely shown much. A very good film though..

I yesterday finished visionary the film of Frank Jess called ' the Fille De Dráculá. He was peculiar, because the film was in subtitled French and in English. But these things are the normal thing in the case of Jess, in that the important thing is the franquiana atmosphere, and where knowing all the references and symbolic apparatus the coarse film director to understand it everything. This film of 1972 takes the labels of Lesbian Sex, Female Nudity, Lesbianism, Beautiful Woman and Female Vampire, of which we take control an idea of its content. Once again it conjugates several of his significant elements: the woman vampire, the views of the beach, and of course, the essential number of the night club in which she appears a winding sensually at sight interesting dancer, and the kind eyes of watching onlookers. I believe that a film of Jess without this scene of the night club and the onlookers does not exist, because if she does not appear us we can imagine easily. In fact this mitotic scene to the Great Voyeur that all we took inside, at least the followers of Jess, that forces to us to enjoy the naked bodies and erotics rites in the dark. The original argument relates the history of a young person, Luisa Karlstein, that visits its aunt in the deathbed, which between death moans reveals to the young person the curse of the family: the first count was a vampire. Then he appears in scene incredible Count Howar Vernon, in the paper of Count Karlstein, who in the filmografía of Jess is just like to say Count Drácula. In fact he is not appraised or if it is really Howar or a mask of characterized Howar of Drácula, that yes, incredible the characterization... is had to do, and I would bet that he is the best one of all the Dráculas that I have seen, pity that Howar not between in action, surely rolled the planes a weekend in its house so that Jess inserted them in the film. Also its appearance like one of the personages is characteristic of Jess, in this case like Cyril Jefferson, that it represents a species of occultism with the syndrome of Casandra. The feminine protagonists who delight with their lesbians scenes son to us Britt Nichols and Anne Libert, of which good reference in others becomes blogs. As she is natural Jess relates a history to us in which the important thing is not the argument, in fact the personages are immersed in a mystery, but they are not worried in solving it, and Jess either, because what really it wants it is to show a dance to us of erotics images that, without arriving at the soft-porn, they do not wake up our libido and they soil our glance. The permanent tribute that makes Jess to the feminine body, from the respect and the admiration, is one of the characteristics of the cinema of Frank Jess that not yet has been valued sufficiently. Spirit of sexual revolution has not valued itself either in east Jess that woke up in years 70 and 80 of the last century, and that at the moment continues being of the rigorous present time. I do not say any triviality if I describe the work of Frank Jess like an Eternal and Universal being that represents the Junguianos Archetypes of the Humanity.

A women is murdered in her bath by a sinister individual dressed in black. In a manor-house near the scene of the crime, Baroness Karlstein wakes up with a start. She is gravely ill and is only awaiting the arrival of her granddaughter Luisa before dying. When Luisa arrives, her grandmother tells her of the curse that has haunted the family for generations, revealing that the first Baron Karlstein was a vampire, and gives her the key to the chapel. Luisa decides to move into the manor with her uncle Baron Max Karlstein and her cousin, Karine. The only fly in the ointment is the presence of the highly intelligent caretaker, Cyril Jefferson...This movie was more improvised than well done. It is a very curious film and also very boring. Howard Vernon, as a sort of count Dracula, is only here to justify the title of the film. His scenes are too short, just lying in his coffin, eyes open are showing off his teeth.. Fun in a way...Britt Nichols is very beautiful as always, and her lesbian scenes with Anne Libert are the best you can get from LA FILLE DE Dracula. But, there are too many tight close-ups to really enjoy it! Some captivating unreal atmosphere kept me watching from beginning to end... But, as always with most of Jess Franco films, you must be a bit of a masochist to enjoy these piece of...cinema!
