This film, part of the Cult strand at BFI Southbank, also screens on October 20th. You can find the full details here.
BFI introduction:
In 19th-century France, strict headmistress Señora Fourneau (a riotous Lilli Palmer) runs her boarding school for troubled girls with an iron fist, but the students have a nasty habit of going missing. Euro-exploitation at its most sophisticated, Serrador’s arresting debut comes dripping in gothic elegance and Oedipal excess, clearly laying the foundations for Dario Argento’s Suspiria a decade later.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
