This 35mm screening is part of the Fantastique: The Dream Worlds of French Cinema season at BFI Southbank. Fulll details here. The film is also being shown on November 10th. Full details here.

BFI Southbank introduction:
Encompassing horror, eroticism and the fantastique, Jean Rollin’s films are possessed of a haunting atmosphere all their own. In this beguiling tale, a couple (Pascal and Quester) head into a rambling, deserted graveyard for a romantic tryst, but as darkness falls they realise they’re unable to find their way back out again... and edge toward madness.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
