Joël Séria // 1971
Leave it to Mondo Macabro to distribute the wildest, most delightfully dark side of [mainly] 70’s cinema.
It really doesn’t get much better than adorable pre-teen girls with a lust for one another, seduction, the occult, Satan, and peeping nuns.
From the very start, the E P I C Lautremont’s Les Chants de Maldoror is referenced and used as inspiration for the girls’ dedication to darkness. The entire film boils down to the unforgettable ending which involves a ceremonious Satanic vow with undertones of Charles Baudelaire’s Fleurs du Mal.
Think Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures meets Juan López Moctezuma’s Alucarda.
