The Night of the clocks

the Night of the clocks is a film of Jean Rollin which treats memory, creation and time.

Synopsis

An young woman, incarnated by the pornographic ex-actress of films Ovidie, inherits the country house of her cousin, the realizer and writer Michel Jean. She saw it only once, but he left a very strong memory in his memory. She visits her tomb with the Cimetière of the Father-Lachaise, then her house. Both are haunted by the characters and phantasms of Michel Jean.

At the same time spiritual will and film of author, the Night of the clocks alternates between philosophical reflections, poetry and exercise of introspection on behalf of the Rollin scenario writer. It is clear that it is not addressed to all the public ones, a preliminary knowledge of the work of Rollin being necessary to seize all the aspects of them.

Personal work of Jean Rollin, the film incorporates many scenes drawn from its other films and winks towards the latter.
