Orchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin tells the story of Jean Rollin, a French film director known for his unique and misunderstood work in the Eurocult cinema. Despite his decades-long career, Rollin's films received little recognition in France and were unknown internationally until the 1990s, when he gained a cult following in niche genre circles. The documentary explores Rollin's life, passions, and influences, including his connection to the French surrealists, symbolist art, and counterculture. It also examines his struggles to find funding and his singular vision, which was often at odds with Western genre film traditions.
