The Blood(1971)
Le Sang
The Blood Synopsis
An apocalyptic vision of man after a cosmic catastrophe, this film is a terrifying metaphor of a dehumanized future. The Brazilian Cinema Novo, German expressionism of the twenties, and the ideologically motivated ‘cruelty’ of a Buñuel come together in this ferocious work of a French theatre collective – an ambitious, almost completely successful example of visual cinema at its best.
The Blood (1971) is a drama film directed by Jean-Daniel Pollet, released on March 20, 1971 with a runtime of 1h 25m. It stars Claude Melki, Les Tréteaux Libres de Genève, Bernard Heymann and Jean-Marc Bassoli. Viewers rate it 5.8 out of 10 across 5 ratings.
