Mourir et plaisir or Blood and Roses is a very slow paced romantic story about a couple which is going to be married and another woman who is secretly in love with the groom.
Visually this is a great movie and so are the scores. The story however feels very dated and is paced so slow it was hard to pay attention, especially in the second half of the movie.
Although many point this movie out as being a vampire movie, the horror/ vampire aspects are very minimal as the movie keeps on focusing on the love story.
I really like vampire story's, especially those before the 80s. I really missed the mystery and Gothic atmosphere I am used to see in those movies. The moments which might have meant to build up tension did fail and therefor this movie ended up as a boring experience.
