Lost in New York
Leaving March 31

54m
Directed by Jean Rollin • 1989 • France
Starring Adeline Abitbol, Catherine Herengt, Funny Abitbol
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.
