Le masque de la Méduse (English: The Mask of Medusa) is a 2009 fantasy horror film directed by Jean Rollin. The film is a modern-day telling of the Greek mythological tale of the Gorgon and was inspired by the 1964 classic Hammer Horror film of the same name and the 1981 cult classic Clash of the Titans. It was Rollin's final film, as the director died in 2010.
Synopsis
Méduse a perdu la mémoire, victime d'un sort que lui a jeté sa sœur Euryale. Elle erre dans des lieux dont elle se souvient par bribes et finit par arriver au Théâtre du Grand Guignol, où se cachent Euryale devenue aveugle et Sthéno, la plus jeune des trois gorgones, réduite à l'état animal. Le gardien du théâtre et le collectionneur vont assister au dernier combat des deux sœurs. Sthéno, seule survivante, recouvre la parole et s'installe dans les sous-sols du Cimetière du Père-Lachaise. Mais elle s'ennuie et se prend d’amitié pour Cornelius, une jeune promeneuse.Actors
