Daughters of Darkness (1971) - A bit underwhelming after seeing Malpertuis (same director). Good mood and sense of location with some good photography. Seyrig brilliantly seductive.
Suddenly, Last Summer (1959) - Camp and over-the-top in some respects but subtle in others. Builds to a genuinely unnerving climax with impressive performance by Taylor. Overall: too talky for me but enjoyably strange for its time.
Levres de Sang (1975) - Wanted to like this but difficult with such slow scenes and lack of suspense. Initial idea of childhood memory is interesting, but became tiresome. Occasional nice imagery/atmosphere.
