Pretty Good
Absolutely Brilliant!
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
This movie is visually stimulating, and has a beautiful soundtrack. It's heavily based in paying tribute to the Giallo era, with the Sergio Martino/Edwige Fenech films and Dario Argento topping the list of sampled visual ideas, direction, and soundtracks. (Even the name is taken from Martino translations)It's not made for everyone, but for the people that it's aimed at, it couldn't be a more perfect breath of fresh air! I absolutely love this film. 10/10 for me.
I love Giallo stuff and when there's a movie that pays tribute or respect to the genre, I'd give it a go. So with this one, seeing a really cool cover of the DVD and being French and all, hey off course :) I like the idea of a missing lover story and I really like the stylized detailed, closed up shots and sounds of many of the scenes. BUT I find it a bit much. I feel that with Giallo, being psychedelic doesn't mean,psychedelic shots of every scenes, this movie has an amazing / best art nouveau back drop that it self already gives a certain persona. I find my self looking the other way just every now and then to rest my eyes also press the ff button just because my brain is telling me " yes I got it, got the idea...next ". However I still recommend it to you, because it has a very good story and all this stuff I'm writing about is worth to look at. But for me.....a bit over done
"Your dark side is your best side" a man is told as he searches secret passageways of his art-nouveau residence in Brussels. He may be searching inside himself or within his dreams. His wife is missing and presumed murdered along with others in the complex. Things seem to get murkier the more he looks into them. Elegant, bold, sinister, shadowy and stimulating, this film will have to be watched again and again, even by Kafka, in order to make better sense of it. It was intentionally designed this way. Eerie and piercing sounds heighten the effect of the stylish images. At times the repetitive images were too much for me, yet the film is absorbing and beautiful in all its darkness. Seen at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
Barfing out references in place of a coherent screenplay, the directors of this kitsch turd appear to have been trying to have a good time copycatting Lynch, Argento and Phantom of the Paradise, while masturbating on Alfons Maria Mucha's art, more than trying to make it worth the spectator's while.The untalented and hideous actors, all lookalikes, and looking like the improbable offsprings of Klaus Kinski and Dominique Pinon, minus the talent, just show up on the screen doing various things that make absolutely no sense whatsoever, while atrocious camera-work, hard to bear colour schemes and an extremely unpleasant soundtrack attack the viewer in a most unpleasant way. No beauty, no poetry, if not for a couple of scenes that are nicely thought out, but that do not serve an actual cinematographic purpose in the film, more of an onanist visual act.More than leeching off other director's trails, it would be a good thing for the two directors to go to a screenplay class, during which I'm sure one of the topics to come up would be "how to keep the viewer interested". If they don't go to one soon, they could remain amateurs for the rest of their careers but at this point, I'm not sure they have much left to say anyways because they already had so little to begin with.Let's just hope that they will keep to short films: in the grind-house scene, their insufferable aesthetics would be praised if they keep it short, as in title sequences or collective movies.In short, the lesson here is that one does not aim at directing a "cult" movie, it's not a genre, it's the viewers who decide. "Cult" films were usually trying to be interesting or narrative before they were trying to be "cult" films, and that's something we'll hope the directors understand soon.
