lorna green ( janine reynaud ) be a performance artist for wealthy intellectual at a local club . she fall prey to her fantasy a the promise of romantic interlude turn into murder a she kill those who believe that sex be on the horizon . it quite possible that and through a form of hypnotic suggestion and someone ( . a possible task master pull her string like a puppet ) be guide lorna into kill those she come across in secluded place just when it appear that love making be about to begin . after the murder within her fantasy be commit and lorna awakens bewilder and often clueless a to if what she be privy to within her dreams ever take place in reality . if someone ask me how to describe this particular work from franco and i would say it elegant and difficult . by now and you have probably read other user comment befuddle by what this film be about and since a large portion of it take place within the surreal atmosphere of a dream . franco mention in an interview that he be heavily influence by godard early in his career and as far a film making style and and so decide to abandon a clear narrative structure in favor of try to create a whole different type of view experience . and and a you read from the reaction of the user comment here . some like this decision and others find the style labouring and dull and and bewilder . i will be the first to admit that the film be over my head and but even franco himself and when quiz by critic who watch succubus and admit that he do not even understand the film and he direct it . some might say that succubus be merely a precursor to his more admired work and venus in fur and consider his masterwork by franco faithful and because it also adopt the surreal and dreamlike structure where the protagonist doesn not truly know whether he or she be experience something real or imagine . in a sense and like the protagonist and we be experience the same type of confusion . certainly and succubus be unconventional film make where we aren not give the key to what be exactly go on . and and a great deal of the elusive dialogue doesn not help matter . succubus be also populate by beatnik type and poet speak and corman film and a bucket of blood poke fun at . my personal favorite scene tease at a possible lesbian interlude between lorna and a woman she meet at a posh party . quite a bizarre fantasy sequence where mannequin be use rather unusually . great location and jazz score . i like this film myself and although i can understand why it do receive a negative reaction . love that one scene at the posh party with lorna and a wee bit drunk and writhe on the floor in a gorgeous even gown a others attend the shindig ( . equally waste ) rush her in an embrace of kiss .
