Orchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin tells the story of one of Eurocult cinema's most singular voices. Deeply misunderstood and widely misrepresented, during his decades-long career as a film director (1958-2009), Rollin's work received absolutely no recognition in his native country of France, and was completely unknown anywhere else. In the nineties, because of home video, Rollin attained a marginal cult status in niche English speaking genre circles. Otherwise he has remained completely obscure.

Austin Chronicle

Orchestrator of Storms is not attempting to be a definitive biography of Rollin, but an invitation to explore the man and his work.

Film Inquiry

Orchestrator of Storms is a loving tribute that is a must-watch for fans of horror Euro cult films. This film can be a touching walk through the necromantic memories of his career or the start of your next horror obsession.

Shadows on the Wall

Even if it's overlong, this is an essential doc about a rarely explored side of cinematic history.

Rated: 4/5

Aisle Seat

Perhaps the best compliment one could give this movie is to say that it makes you want to immediately check out something Jean Rollin made after viewing it.

Rated: 3/4
