Product Description

The line between perverted dreams and fevered reality are torn apart as a beautiful witch (Carroll Baker, Baby Doll) gets her sapphic claws into a beautiful young photographer in this rampant adaptation of the classic Guido Crepax comic-book.

Now 35 years after original release director Corrado Farina has re-edited his film exclusively for Shameless, re-inserting footage cut by both the producers and censors, to bring us for the first time his vision as he would really have liked it seen. Restored, Re-graded, re-edited and re-imagined this is Baba Yaga: The Final Cut on a features-packed UK DVD!

When the beautiful Valentina spurns the advances of the enigmatic witch, a curse is put on her camera and all those who pose for her are damned. Pursued by the sensuous seduction of Baba Yaga at every turn, she must either submit to her S&M desires or confront the repressed lesbian feelings buried deep within. Carnal lust explodes as she must choose between external decadence and staid reality, with her very soul at stake as witchcraft casts its spell.

Combining the haunting atmosphere of Polanski with the sexual styling of Argento on Crystal Meth, it's all here: gorgeous lesbians, Nazi fantasies and even sinister sewing machines! Baba Yaga is 70's Euro-sleaze at its very best, showcasing stunning cinematography and is a must for everyone let down by the distinctly prudish Barbarella when it comes to erotic Euro-comics.

Baba Yaga: The Final Cut (cert. 18) is released uncut on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment. The new edit of the film is presented remastered in 1.85:1 with choices of either English or Italian 2.0 sound with optional English subtitles in Region 0.

Extra features are headed up with an introduction to the film by Corrado Farina plus an all-new in-depth interview. Also included on the disc are two Corrado Farina documentaries, Freud A Fumetti' (Farina explores the comic artwork of Crepax) and the never before seen Fummettophobia' (translates as Comics-Phobia'), a Shameless Fact Track by The Wilson Bros, a collector's photo gallery and a Shameless original trailer gallery which includes a teaser for the upcoming release of Luigi Bazzoni's Footprints!

Baba Yaga is a weird and atmospheric movie, highly recommended for fans of Dario Argento and Jess Franco. The scenario is weak ant there is actually no plot but that's the same as with Argento's "Suspiria" and Franco's "Eugenie - The Story Of Her Journey Into Perversion"(1969). Also, Carroll Baker as the enigmatic witch and Isabelle De Funes as the naive photographer that gets seduced by her are excellent!! The cinematography is great and the music is really fantastic. The music is superb and adds a lot in this 70's italian cult film.

Italian horror movies invariably seem to have a special look, sound, and feeling of baroque creepiness that make them successful. I'm not so sure that Kiss Me, Kill Me (aka Baba Yaga, aka The Devil Witch aka Black Magic) is really that great of a movie, but its dark atmosphere makes it satisfyingly effective. Based to some degree on a dark comic strip, the movie's noticeably surreal quality is greatly enhanced by a haunting musical score as well as the use of grainy black and white pictures of events unfolding at certain critical times. Isabelle De Funes plays Valentina Rosselli, a photographer living in Milan. On her way home one night, she encounters a very strange lady who calls herself Baba Yaga (played by Carroll Baker). This stranger tells Valentina their meeting was predestined, and she quickly insinuates herself into the life of our protagonist. Baba Yaga, we quickly learn, is some type of witch, and she certainly looks the part in costume as well as appearance; her pasty complexion and almost-white eyebrows standing out in contrast to her red lipstick-coated mouth does make quite an impression. Valentina tries to go about her work, which involves photographing semi-nude women, but Baba Yaga gradually puts her under her spell. She has strange dreams; quite unusual things begin to happen when she takes pictures with a camera that Baba Yaga has fondled; a strange doll Baba Yaga gives her begins to seem like something more than a normal doll. The tension and suspense is carried along quite nicely throughout, but the conclusion falls a little short of making this film an unqualified success.
This is a movie best suited for adults because it does contain a fair bit of nudity, but the sex, violence, and gore is actually rather limited.

Baba Yaga is an interesting film, its about a young female photographer who has a chance encounter with a srange woman who is actually a witch, from there a series of strange events take place such as the death of a handful of people and unexpainable events all leading up to the confrontation with Baba Yaga, the film has horror elements in it but is more about sexual exploration and the world of fantasy with just a hint of social commentary thrown in for good measure. The film is very hard to explain but easy enough to understand and enjoy, if you like Italian cult films of the 70's this one is well worth getting, as usual Shameless Entertainment have brought us a great version of the film and all scenes cut from previous editions are now restored, add to that brand new special features and you've got a disc worth buying even if you already owned the movie.

That's the kind of movie you will adore if you like Italian movies of the sixties and seventies. Difficult to resume the story. It's about a young female photograph who meet a strange woman one night when going back home. This woman is in fact a witch, dangerous and beautiful (Caroll Baker is perfect). It's like an open eyed nightmare with strange scenes of violence and sex. Isabelle de Funes is remarkable and also George Eastman as the boyfriend. I only knew the cut version and I'm very glad to possess the uncut version now. As always the guys of Shameless have done a fine job. I highly recommand this film.

Maybe this film would be better of forgotten... but on the other hand it could be considered a kind of "base-line bad" ! Making a movie from a cartoon isn't easy... and failiure is always an option.

Valentina, the films heroine is based on a character created by the
great Italian comic artist Guido Crepax.
Valentina and the Magic Lantern
In the director's, and my opinion, Guido Crepax's work treads a fine line
between the sensuous, erotic, and the vulgar, pornographic.
Director Corrado Farina, did try to create a loving tribute to Crepax's work. This is especially obvious in the black & white shots
which resemble the panels of the comic.
However, as he recounts in his interview, his producers, not
only failed to contract the actresses he thought would be ideal
for the roles of Valentina and Baba Yaga, but they also edited the negative,
without his knowledge and consent. The film was further mutilated by
the Italian censorship.
This DVD contains most of the excised material, albeit in markedly
inferior image quality.
Isabelle de Funes and Carroll Baker are doing fine in their respective roles,
the piano music is haunting, and there's a charming abandoned Italian mansion.
However, there's a lot of extraneous, hopelessly dated material,
like the student riots against the Catholic church, and the Vietnam war.
So, the films only momentarily approaches the febrile intensity of
Guido Crepax's imagination. Try the comics instead.
