Cemeteries in Jean Rollin movies.

“By including cemeteries in his films, Rollin is able to tether his fantastical stories to a specific setting where he immerses himself in existential themes and poetic allusions. The graveyard - primal, historical, theatrical, and supernatural - is laden with symbolism and evokes Rollin’s binary view of death as terrifying and romantic, the duality of childhood, memories, and other past influences that became lifelong obsessions with the filmmaker. The cemetery is a space where Rollin creates some sense of the human soul, bringing order to an otherwise limitless void.” -  Alison Nastasi, from “Love among the iron roses: The cemetery as a romantic nexus in the films of Jean Rolin”, 2017.
