A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

In such COMPLETELY other news, Dario Argento fans should know that his third film (and his most interesting pre-DEEP RED movie) is out in a glorious transfer: FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET. This was considered a "lost movie" because while Paramount held the rights, they wouldn't give them up for anyone (at least at a reasonable price). The only available versions have been incredibly wretched bootleg copies - literally unwatchable (I know because I bought one) in a literal sense (some scenes you couldn't make out what was supposed to be happening).

Hey Frank, do you recommend Mother of Tears?

Hey Frank, do you recommend Mother of Tears
That's a difficult question to answer. There are beyond absurd aspects that I'm not sure were intended to be humorous, but are utterly ridiculous. Contrasted with that, it is EXTREMELY gory, in very nasty ways, especially when it comes to the female victims. I realized thinking about it that all of the deaths are very medieval in the old school sense (which the opening credits hint at): the men get hacked and slashed, and the women suffer more protracted, torturous fates.
It's definitely the liveliest Argento film in a long time, and, if you're a fan, worth watching. I mean, I saw it in the theater, and bought the DVD, but haven't gotten around to a second viewing (I bought it because I'm a completist on certain filmmakers, but I do want to give a second go at least). But I'm still not sure if I'd recommend it to anyone but a hardcore Argento-phile.
