5.0 out of 5 stars The Ecstacy of Jess Franco 15 May 2006
Format:DVD
Which do you prefer: Citizen Kane or Touch of Evil? Breathless or Alphaville? Seventh Seal or Persona? Vampyros Lesbos or She Killed in Ecstasy? Difficult choices. Endless debate. The blissed out tripped out Vampyros Lesbos is a classic but She Killed in Ecstasy might actually be the better film. It shows what Franco could do when, for this brief period, he had a reasonable budget & a decent cast & crew. As 1970 kitsch it takes some beating: the clothes! the architecture! the interior design! Brilliant soundtrack of course. And this Franco film actually has an involving plot - it's a knife-wielding-woman-seeks-revenge movie (see Lady Snowblood, Kill Bill etc). There are a couple of sleazy lapses but hey - it is a Jess Franco film after all. The fantastic Soledad Miranda is perfect here: intense yet playful; emotionally sympathetic yet cruelly sadistic.... She was definitely Franco's muse & he takes an acting role in the film, setting up a finale in which he is mercilessly tortured by Soledad. Director tortured & killed by his lead actress! So much more daring than what Hitchcock got up to with Grace or Tippi. This Second Sight DVD is an uncut restoration of original negative, with subtitle options (all insane post-sync dubbing of course) & trailer. Excellent DVD edition of a work of true demented genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars sister work to Vampyros Lesbos and a better film 11 Jan 2010
Format:DVD
Vampyros Lesbos is a classic: a beautiful, stylish masterpiece that surpasses any 'euro sleaze' conventions and this (it's companion piece) surpasses even this high water mark.

The same conventions are in place (similar cinematography, the same composers working on the soundtrack, Soledad Miranda) but is more coherent as a film, uses the conventions of traditional film making to show it's limitations.

And then there's Soledad. Soledad stalks through this film full of hate and fragility, pain in every glance. The beauty of Soledad becomes, in this film, problematic as our admiring gaze has to ignore her pain to see her as a sexual object and, by this, our reactions to the film become problematic.

Recomended for Jess Franco fans who argue he's not just a sleaze director he's actually very, very talented. Watch with Vampyros Lesbos, Justine, Jack the Ripper and the mighty Barbed Wire Dolls to see a director at his best/ worst (depending on your point of view.)

is great in this film - she is so sexy. The 70s style is fantastic. The story is good with a great soundtrack. Well worth buying.
