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.

Richard Whittaker 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. Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Jules Caldeira 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. Mar 19, 2023 Full Review Rich Cline 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 Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Mike McGranaghan 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 Feb 20, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills ...odd, sometimes tedious, sometimes hypnotic screen ouevre... Feb 16, 2023 Full Review Jason Delgado Film Threat I enjoyed the abundance of info on this overlooked filmmaker, but it sometimes got redundant. Rated: 6/10 Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
