"Actor: Barbara Cupisti"

• Stagefright (Collector's Limited Edition) | Blu Ray | (27/12/2021) from £19.84   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Considered by critics a pinnacle of slasher movies, STAGEFRIGHT is now finally given the release it deserves, from a new 4K restoration, for us to marvel at the inventive genius of director Michele Soavi (Cemetery Man, The Sect, The Church) combining relentless graphic blood-splattered set pieces with his trademark witty filmmaking elegance - a quality not normally associated with slasher movies ! Soavi intended his film to be called Aquarius - or aquarium - alluding to the viewer being able to see the action as if it took place inside a fishbowl. Cleverly constructed to heighten suspense, the director intentionally mixes fake with reality: showing us the ˜real' serial killer of our film as he infiltrates a group of stage actors rehearsing overnight in an isolated place; he kills and takes the place of the actor whose role in the play is that of a killer permanently hidden under a giant owl head! His identity unseen, the now real killer-owl stalks and dismembers the troupe one by one! Schooled by Dario Argento and Terry Gilliam but with his own unique personal flair, Soavi's first feature can finally be seen as intended, with this edition further benefitting from the director's colour grading and framing indications given during a candid conversation filmed exclusively for one of the many Extras on this Special Edition disc.

  With its stars bottom looming large on the cover, erotic adventure All Ladies Do It is clearly the work of Italian director Tinto Brass. It is another tale of a young woman and her quest to fulfil her sexual desires, in this case Claudia Kolls Diane, who embarks on a series of casual affairs much to the interest of husband Paul who, assuming that her tales are merely the product of an active imagination, finds himself aroused by their content. In the meantime, Diane is increasing her circle of lovers before a trip to Venice threatens to bring her dual life crashing down. The plot is frankly secondary to Brass appreciation of the female form (absolutely no opportunity is missed to focus on Kolls behind) and it all becomes a little ludicrous. The original Italian title ("Cosi fan tutte") is derived from Mozarts comic opera but, unlike the operas convoluted sexual politics, here there is only a rather confused attempt at expressing a quasi-feminist message about female independence. All Ladies Do It is best viewed as a piece of glossy titillation and nothing more. On the DVD: Brass certainly knows how to make the best of a location and there are some exceptionally beautiful shots of Venice to be found among the carnal adventures. The extras include a filmography and photo gallery as well as a low quality but telling interview with the director, during which he expounds on a rather strange theory regarding womens bottoms and the fact that, unlike their faces, they cannot lie. --Phil Udell
