A zany, laugh-a-minute funfest of... What? It's not a comedy?
|
I bought this film because I collect movies with mid-century modern sets. And, if you love the designs seen in such films as "Barbarella" or "Our Man Flint", this film offers a wealth of wacky interiors. I mean, for goodness sakes, the main character in this film has a trapeze over his bathtub. He also has a mobile of a bound woman in his closet, for some reason. (A closet that's full of women's clothes, I should add. Not that there's anything wrong with that...)
However, I was also expecting some sort of suspense film, and it does sort of start out as a suspense film, then things get weird and they just keep on getting weirder. My favorite scene involves the sudden appearance of an all-girl woodwind band. This is what I'd guess you'd call a "subtle metaphor".
Then there's the "love theme" from the movie. There's a complete version on one of the "Easy Tempo" CDs. Not only does it sound like it was sung phonetically, it sounds like it was written by someone using an English/Italian dictionary. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's a catchy tune.
Finally, you have a romantic coupling in a swimming that plays out like the final showdown in a spaghetti western.
It's all too cool, too weird, too funny for words. A real surprise.
On the bad side, yes, the print is a bit washed out. Also, considering the price of the disk, there should have been some extras other than just the trailer. Some photos, posters, and such would have been nice.
However, if you love loungy soundtracks, interiors that look like something from "Pad, a guide to ultraliving", and movies that just zig and zag in ways you never expected, this one is for you. |
