Françoise Blanchard

Born: 1954   Country: France

This pretty French blonde started her career in exploitation films a little late and missed the boat, but still became a favourite of that maestro of erotic gothic whimsy Jean Rollin.

Françoise Blanchard (6 June 1954 – 29 May 2013) was a French actress best known for her role in Jean Rollin's 1982 horror film La Morte Vivante (The Living Dead Girl). Her other film credits include Les Trottoirs de Bangkok (The Sidewalks of Bangkok) and La Nuit des Horloges (The Night of Clocks), both films also directed by Rollin.   snippet from Wikipedia

A beautiful girl returns from the dead after her coffin is disturbed in an industrial accident. In this clip Françoise, newly restored to life, is discovered by her closest childhood friend. She is stark naked naturally enough. And as for the bathing scene - the balcony may seem an odd choice but the light was better there.

This gothic soft erotic classic may suffer from 'porn film' plot touches (eg. glamorous female motorists flagging down other glamorous female motorists and luring them to elegant country chateaux) but its depiction of a friendship that tries to extend impossibly beyond the grave is genuinely moving.
