Red Roses of Passion

1966 · 85 min Fantasy Drama
4.9 / 10 · TMDB

A man-hungry suburban woman feels frustrated since she lives in the home of her prudish aunt and cousin, who interrupt and criticise her amorous liaisons. A co-worker brings her to a tarot-card reader, who introduces her to a club of women who meet occasionally to share an intoxicating brew, tease each other erotically with long-stemmed roses and honour the heathen god Pan. The occultist manages to corrupt the aunt and cousin, and lure the woman into full-fledged membership so she might participate in its climactic ritual.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gradual shift from domestic drama to dark fantasy, relying on an atmosphere of repressed desire and domestic claustrophobia. It explores the stark contrast between a puritanical reality and the debauched world of a secret cult.

What lingers after viewing is the psychedelic aesthetic of the mid-1960s, where eroticism intertwines with the occult, and liberation takes on an ambiguously sinister form. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Joseph W. Sarno
