Lost in New York
Perdues dans New York
France • 1989
Director
Synopsis
As Eurohorror legend Jean Rollin approached the sunset of his career, he distilled his dreamlike images and provocative, existential themes into films that were deeply personal and unapologetically cryptic. Perhaps the most abstract of the director’s sister-themed films, the made-for-television LOST IS NEW YORK dials back the horror for which Rollin was best known and instead unfolds as a kind of art-house “Alice in Wonderland” in which two siblings are transported from the French beachside the wastelands of Manhattan.
