Production
Nuits Rouges was filmed in 1973.[2] The film is a 100-minute theatrical version of a film originally commissioned for television.[2] The budget for the film was so modest that Franju had to film all interiors of the film on a studio set.[3]
Jacques Champreux (Louis Feuillade's grandson[4]) who plays one the lead roles, had directed the series that inspired the film. He also had worked on Franju's Judex, which was also based on a film series.[5]
Nuits Rouges is Franju's last feature film.[6]
Release
Nuits Rouges was released on November 20, 1974, in France.[7]
Reception
Nuits Rouges received mixed and even mocking reviews from French critics on its release.[8] Nuits Rouges was released on DVD in the United Kingdom as part of Eureka's Masters of Cinema series along with another film by Georges Franju, Judex (1963) in 2008.[9]
