Les Trottoirs de Bangkok
Les Trottoirs de Bangkok
(English: "
The Sidewalks of Bangkok", also known as "Bangkok Interdit") is a 1984 erotic thriller film directed by Jean Rollin.
The film was inspired by the 1932 Boris Karloff classic "The Mask of Fu Manchu".
In contrast to Rollin's usual themes of vampires, dream-like atmosphere and crumbling châteaus, "Les Trottoirs des Bangkok" mixes themes of adventure, crime and mystery with comic book dialogue, while still featuring naked women and sex, which his films were known for.

Jean Rollin
Jean Michel Rollin Roth Le Gentil (3 November 193815 December 2010) was a French film director, actor, and novelist best known for his work in the fantastique genre.
His career, spanning over fifty years, featured early short films and his achievements with his first four vampire classics "Le viol du vampire" (1968), "
La vampire nue" (1970), "Le frisson des vampires" (1970), and "Requiem pour un vampire" (1971).
Rollin's subsequent notable works include "La rose de fer" (1973), "Lèvres de sang" (1975), "Les raisins de la mort" (1978), "Fascination" (1979), and "La morte vivante" (1982).
His films are noted for their exquisite, if mostly static, cinematography, off-kilter plot progression and poetic dialogue, their playful surrealism and recurrent use of well-constructed female lead characters.
Outlandish denouments and abstruse visual symbols were trademarks throughout his 'dark fantasy' career.
Remarkably, in spite of their seeming high production values and precise craftsmanship, his films were made with very little money, and often under crushing deadlines.
In the mid-1970s, lack of regular work led the director to direct mostly pornographic films under various pseudonyms, an activity he continued until the early 1980s.
