I’ve really enjoyed the film Don’t Deliver US From Evil (Mais ne nous délivrez pas du mal) by Joel Seria from 1971. The whole thing is on YouTube right now. It features two teenage girls living in the Anjou province of France (home of Fulk the Black, who married Melusine, “the daughter of Satan”) stealing consecrated wafers from church (at 18:59), performing a Black Mass/lesbian wedding ceremony (at 54:00), reading from Les Chants de Maldoror by Comte de Lautréamont (at 51:47), and also from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du mal as they immolate themselves in the final scene at the school talent show (at 1:36). Check it out:
