Synopsis
Between the dystopian paranoia of The Night of the Hunted and the visceral excesses of The Living
Dead Girl, director Jean Rollin takes a surreal detour into the Parisian demi-monde with The
Escapees (Les Echappes, also known as Les Paumes du petit matin).
When two young women, the wayward Michelle (Laurence Dubas) and the withdrawn Marie
(Christiane Copp), escape from an asylum, they find themselves drifting through a nightmarish
world of burlesque troupes, lascivious sailors, and hardened criminals. After a violent
confrontation, the police close in…
With its supporting cast of key collaborators, including actors Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination), Louise
Dhor (Requiem for a Vampire), Bernard Papineau (The Night of the Hunted), Jean-Loup Philippe
(Lips of Blood), Natalie Perrey (The Nude Vampire)
