Blake Edwards and Jean Rollin

We woke up to two news deplorable deaths of two filmmakers as antithetical as Blake Edwards and Jean Rollin. In fact, I do not think there may be two different characters in the film, two views so different from the time of making a feature film.

born William Blake Crump in Tulsa on July 26, 1922. He began his career in film as an extra in the late forties. Then went on to write screenplays for film and television. There is a famous professional relationship he had with Richard Quine. In 1955 he directed his first feature film, "Bring Your Smile Along " with Frankie Laine. Four years later he directed his first big movie, " Operation Petticoat" with Cary Grant, Tony Curtis and the unforgettable pink submarine. The relationship of great comedies that made is overwhelming, "D esayuno diamond" (1961), " The Pink Panther" (1963), " New in the Dark" (1964), " The Great Race" (1965), " The Party" (1968) , " 10, perfect woman" (1979), " SOB" (1981), "" Victor / Victoria ? "(1982) and many more. But it was also the creator of solid dramas and thrillers such as the exceptional " Days of Wine and Roses " (1962) or " in Terror" (1962). His last film directed him in 1993. Without doubt, we have been one of the largest in Hollywood.

Jean Michel Rollin Le Gentil was born near Paris in 1938. An aesthetic of the horror film, a film bluntly: it or love it or hate it. Intellectual vampire, beautiful women with little clothing, little dialogue. A career staff furiously and unfortunately almost entirely unprecedented in Spain, leaving us such suggestive titles as "Le viol du vampire " (1968), his first feature, " The new vampire" (1970), "Le frisson des Vampires "(1971)," Lèvres de sang "(1975)," Les raisins de la mort "(1978) or" Les deux Orphelines vampires "(1997). He also directed several pornographic films under the name of Michel Gentil. He was still active when death overtook him.
