Sadly, whatever the original plan was, the finished product really isn't all that good and in fact it comes across as a poor man's Jean-Luc Godard film.
Later in his career he apparently wanted to try something new and from what I've read this here turned out to be a very personal film for him. Rollin's surreal mix of blood, vampires and lesbians is something fans of Euro Trash crave and the director often delivered the goods. Director Jean Rollin has become a huge cult favorite over the past decade or so due in large part to films like THE SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES, SCHOOLGIRL HITCHHIKERS, LIPS OF BLOOD and THE LIVING DEAD GIRL. The two little girls talk about movies and various locations before they're magically sent from France to New York City where they reemerge as a couple 20-year-old women. Two little girls discover a wooden figure known as the Moon Goddess. An elderly woman wonders around the streets.
Lost in New York (1989) * 1/2 (out of 4) A black woman, partially dressed, sits in the streets.
