Kristel plays a role that would make it look as though she was long past her days of being an erotic film actress, although the fact is that she was only beginning to build up her oeuvre as one. At first glance seemingly something taken right out of the most ancient of horror novels, Chabrol’s careful traversing of his spooky locations offer something new for the books. Amply deserving such glory given its unnecessarily long stay in the dumps, the film is an ambient piece of work that supports its idiosyncratic plot with an atmospheric, shadowy visual style. Here is the list of top movies of Sylvia Kristel, which cover the erotica (particularly sexploitation comedies and dramas), horror, and romance genres.Ī departure from their careers thus far for both Sylvia Kristel and director Claude Chabrol, ‘Alice or the Last Escapede’ is a lowly gem of cinema that, if seen with the same analytic eyes that are evaluating the artistic merits of one of Tarkovsky’s works, would be lauded with praise. Her passing in 2012 led to the movies losing one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the silver screen. Kristel’s career is one of great interest to me as well, because while going through the years, it is clear that her talents as an actress (of which she possessed a whole lot) were never truly recognized, and she was slowly losing her status as a sex symbol with which she started off her journey in film.
