Full Details:

Release date: May 19

"Having built his reputation with a quartet of eccentric erotic vampire tales, Jean Rollin surprised audiences with The Iron Rose (Le Rose de fer), an atmospheric detour into the realms of the fantastique.

When a couple - played by Fran?oise Pascal (Burke and Hare) and Hugues Quester (Je t'aime moi non plus) - stumble across an old cemetery, they begin to explore its gravestones and crypts. But, as night falls, they find that they are unable to leave ...

Restored in 4K from the original negative, The Iron Rose also features Rollin regulars Nathalie Perrey (Lips of Blood) and Mireille Dargent (Requiem for a Vampire), and is considered by many to be one of its director's crowning achievements. This new edition also includes a new 4K restoration of Rollin's early short film The Yellow Loves, an evocation of the poetry of Tristan Corbi?re, whose work was also the inspiration for The Iron Rose."
