Spirits of the Dead - Metzengerstein (1968)

Part one of a 3-in-1 Poe anthology, baton passed between directors Vadim, Malle and Fellini.

Jules: Are soulmates real, even if one or more of the parties behave soullessly? What is the price to save one's soul, once it it lost? Roger Vadim and his beautiful entourage seek answers beneath the surface of things.

David: A tragic ghost myth? A seminal precursor to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not? Or both plus a costume rehearsal for the immediately subsequent intramarital collaboration by Vadim and Fonda, Barbarella.
