Four conflicting stories about a guy's sex life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Four Times a Night [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Four tales about a young man's "lucky night", each from a different person's point of view, depending on what they wanted people to know and what they actually saw. The girl tells a tale of attempted rape, the man a story of going at it like rabbits all night, the doorman makes him out to be a bender, and a neighbour relates his failed attempt. Quite well done, showing how what happened in a situation like this depends on who you ask.

A Nice Change Of Pace For Bava,
By John Peterson "bigtimemusiclover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Four Times That Night [DVD] [1969] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
For those who enjoy Mario Bava's horror films, this movie will come as a surprise. It shows a side of Bava not normally associated with him. This is a wonderful, thought-provoking film that works as a light hearted comedy and as a character study of human sexuality (which was daring for 1968). John and Tina meet while Tina is walking her dog. They go out on a date which turns into a disaster when Tina reurns home with a ripped up dress and John with scratched on the forehead. What follows are three different perspectives from John, Tina, and John's doorman who spied on them, on what actually happened, followed by a fourth perspective by a psychiatrist on what could have happened (it's up to the viewer to make up their minds). This subtitled DVD comes with Mario Bava's biography and filmography, good liner notes from Tim Lucas, and a photo and poster gallery. Recommended. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

INSATIABLE,
By wdanthemanw "wdanthemanw" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Four Times That Night [DVD] [1969] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Almost invisible for 32 years, italian director Mario Bava's FOUR TIMES THAT NIGHT is now presented by Image in the DVD standard. Shot in late 1968, at the beginning of the erotic wave that submerged the B cinema of Italia, Germany and France, this movie didn't make it in front of the italian censorship and was banned from italian and international screens until 1973. It can not be denied that FOUR TIMES THAT NIGHT delivers a certain amount of eroticism due mostly to the sculptural Daniela Giordano, Miss Italy 1966. Other problematic scenes - for the censors, I mean - include homosexual and lesbian behaviours, mostly verbal and a night in a club for special people. I suppose that the producers of FOUR TIMES THAT NIGHT, if they only had produced it two years later, would have a tremendous success because the cinematography is, as always in Mario Bava's movies, original and innovative. The first story, partly narrated " off " by Daniela Giordano is a little masterpiece that doesn't leave unharmed womanizers nor innocent sex symbols. The theme of FOUR TIMES THAT NIGHT is well known, the same story is told not from two three different points of view but rather from three different perspectives. A psychiatrist has the difficult task to propose the fourth version which could be or...not the real one. The copy presented by Image is deceiving if we have in mind the Mario Bava movies that Anchor Bay or VCI released a few months ago. White spots haven't been digitally treated and the colours are very sad. As bonus features, biography and filmography of Mario Bava and english subtitles. Less than the minimum. A DVD zone discovery. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Beautiful visuals - mediocre movie - sloppy release,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Four Times That Night [DVD] [1969] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
"Four times that night" is supposed to be Bava's, according tothe liner notes obligatory, "blue movie". Probably in order not to make the movie too flat, the creators adapted the conception of "Rashomon". Unfortunately, I haven't seen the latter movie so far, so that I cannot tell how much Bava copied from it. Anyway, Bava presents the material, a one night stand presented from four different viewpoints, as a light hearted comedy. Though not particularly convincing, I found the movie entertaining and enjoyed how Bava was playing with his audience, especially, when the psychiatrist tells his mock version of what "really" happened. The colourful visual style and the mastery of the camera added further delight. As far as the DVD is concerned, it is another sloppy release by Image - they didn't even take the pain to cut out those frames announcing the beginning and the end of the break when - being in a movie theatre - you are supposed to buy your ice cream. Though the transfer is sharp and colourful, it has been drawn from an extremely speckled master. The audios are equally damaged. There is NO bonus material - not even a trailer - worth mentioning, except for the informative liner notes by Tim Lucas. People interested in Bava's work and intrigued by his visual style will probably want to buy this DVD which at least features the original version. To others, I hesitate to recommend the DVD. |
