La Comtesse Ixe
Jean Rollin (as Michel Gentil), 1976, 80 mins
A notorious thief seizes an opportunity (and an invite meant for someone else) and arrives at a private party masquerading as a legendary Countess who no one has seen before, but who’s reputation for getting the party started precedes her. Playing the part our thief encourages the guests to lose both inhibitions and clothes, forming the perfect distraction for burglary… an orgy!
Perfect, that is, until the real Countess arrives…
Rollin financed his more personal, fantastical, and often vampiric projects with erotica, and here is such a movie. You will note Catherine Castel, who appears in Rollin’s more well known titles, such as Lips of Blood
