The Blood Rose (1970)

In the world of 'The Blood Rose', Frédéric Lansac is not just an artist but also a botanist of unique acclaim. His world is set ablaze by the wild and vivacious Moira, a party girl who captivates him. However, his infatuation is fleeting as he becomes entranced by the radiant Anne. Their love story unfolds quickly, leading to an impromptu wedding. But Moira, scorned and vengeful, crashes their celebration, sparking a tumultuous scene that culminates in a horrific accident: Anne, the new bride, is horrifically burned in a bonfire. Frédéric, devastated and guilt-ridden, retreats with Anne to his grand mansion, a stone fortress inhabited only by them and his pair of mute dwarf servants. Anne's radiance is replaced by bitterness and pain; her demands become increasingly taxing as her husband sinks into a pit of desperate obsession. In a chilling twist, Frédéric announces to the world that his beloved wife has passed away, while secretly employing a nurse to tend to her in the shadows of his mansion. Haunted by the sight of Anne's disfigured beauty, Frédéric becomes maniacal in his pursuit of restoring her once-stunning visage. His obsession pulls him into the dark underbelly of the medical world, where he resorts to blackmailing a plastic surgeon into performing illicit operations of unimaginable horror. The price for Anne's new face is high, involving the skin of innocent young girls in a chilling revelation of how far one man will go for love. 'The Blood Rose' is a captivating tale of love, obsession, and the darkness hidden beneath beauty.
