Freak Orlando (1981)

In the form of a "small theater of the world", a history of the world from its beginnings to our day, including the errors, the incompetence, the thirst for power, the fear, the madness, the cruelty and the commonplace, in a story of five episodes.

From memory: Colorful, wildly surreal and macabre tour de force drama; has a cult following for its celebration of queer culture.

La voie lactée (1969)

Two drifters go on a pilgrimage from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, and along the way, they hitchhike, beg for food, and face the Christian dogmas and heresies from different Ages.

Les levres rouges (1971)

A newlywed couple are passing through a vacation resort, and their paths cross with a mysterious, strikingly beautiful countess and her aide.

Slow-paced, but very stylish and captivating vampire drama; artsy European exploitation at its best.

Halliwell*: "Surrealist and gory horror, stylishly directed and often visually intriguing."

Maltin**1/2: "Sophisticated, witty, but cold tale...Elegant, but pretentious and slow. Highly regarded by many."
