Les fleurs maladives de Georges Franju is a fascinating little documentary that dives into the life and work of Franju, a director known for his unique blend of horror and beauty. The pacing feels almost languid, allowing viewers to really soak in the atmosphere of his films. The tone is reflective, paying homage to his quirks and visions. You get glimpses of his practical effects work, which was quite ahead of its time, reminding you of the tactile nature of filmmaking before digital took over. The performances, while not the focus, still resonate with sincerity and depth, leading you to reflect on Franju’s influence in the cinematic world. Definitely a niche watch but rewarding for those interested in the more esoteric side of film history.
