Format: DVD
Filmed around 1969 in post Antonioni's (Blowup) Swinging London we have here the tale of brother and sister twins, brought to screen-life by Martin Potter (Fellini Satyricon) and Judy Geeson (10 Rillington Place) along with a sterling British cast including Michael Redgrave, Freddie Jones, Mike Pratt and Peter Jeffrey providing characteristically able support. Directed with a sense of ambiguous poignancy by Alan Gibson, who fans of 70's horror will recall from Crescendo, Dracula A.D. 1972 and The Satanic Rites Of Dracula. Goodbye Gemini benefits greatly for having Geoffrey Unsworth responsible for the cinematography, which one or two people may remember him as the D.P on a little known film- 2001: A Space Odyssey. Further aided by some sumptuous art-direction, imbuing the picture with a contemporary look which when viewed today does not befall other more dated looking examples of films made from this era.

I won't spoil for you the plot of Gemini, anyone who remembers the movie first time round will know what to expect, but for those of you, like-myself, new to this film will get more out of not being told what to expect, but I can assure 1960's/70's genre fans will find this a worthwhile time-machine trip which for me would have been my year of birth.

New DVD outfit: Scorpion Releasing have done a fine job of bringing this film back from cinema obscurity and should be congratulated for what in the most part is a handsome anamorphic transfer of this low-budget, but rather classy cult curio. Original Mono soundtrack is strong without any annoying pops or hissing.

I'd heard of this for years but never got to see it before.
A bit weird to be honest, but the two leads are good in it, and it does offer a bit of a diversion from the usual thriller pattern in that there are two people involved in the mayhem and madness.
A curio, but an interesting film which should have appeal to people who like a taste of the bizarre in their movie choices, and like older films.

!!!WARNING. MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!

Twin brother and sister Jacki and Julian(Judy Geeson and Martin Potter) live in a bizarre fantasy world of secret parlour games and childlike innocence. After moving into a luxurious Chelsea house, they are soon sought out and 'adopted' by charismatic small-time criminal Clive Landseer(Alexis Kanner), who has a gambling debt as long as his arm and a sexual appetite to match. Clive seeks to control and manipulate his new playthings, much to the horror of Julian, who has barely suppresed incestuous desires for his sister. However, once one of Clive's rather less forgiving creditors comes calling, the games take a rather unsavoury turn, including blackmail and threats of violence, leading the twins to carry out a terrible act of violence...
This very fine psychological thriller is a welcome addition to my DVD library. Digitally remastered and lovingly presented, it is probably Alan Gibson's best film, although I am also very fond of his two Hammer Dracula entries. The two lead roles are in the capable hands of Geeson and Potter, the former proving once again that she was the British horror scream queen who really could act. As good as their performances are though, the film belongs to Alexis Kanner. His is an extraordinary performance, one so vital to the film, that after the character Clive's bloody exit, the film loses its impetus and meanders towards its downbeat ending.
There are other incidental pleasures to be taken from the film such as the great verbal jousting between the characters played by Freddie Jones and Sir Michael Redgrave and the great soundtrack and sets. Nevertheless, the film never quite recovers from the loss of its most interesting, complex character.

This film is not well known because it is very poor. Judy Geeson tries her best, but she finds a partner in Martin Potter whose inert presence sucks the life from every scene. This is a shame, because the film is well put together technically, and is only let down by a slow and self-indulgent plot and the poor acting from all but Freddie Jones and Michael Redgrave. As for Alexis Kanner? Hailed by some as the hero of the day, in fact he presents as a cross between Tony Newley and Richard Harris, with neither the charm nor the talent of either. His performance (leaving aside his extraordinary accent) is not exactly awful, but make no mistake, it doesn't have what it takes to transform this sensationalist nonsense into a 'hidden gem'. This film certainly has pretentions to be a tense psychological drama, but don't let a re-master and a DVD commentary catch you believing that, 40 years on, it has suddenly achieved those ends.

I saw this film when it was originally released, sometime in 1969 or 1970, shortly after I moved to London.

To my recollection, the cinema release has the film starting on board a Pan Am jet, however, this DVD release starts the film on the Pan Am passenger bus transporting the Twins into central London.

I understood this DVD release was the original, uncut, theatrical release, but it seems to be cut.

Also, depending on what reviews you read; Jules is 'beaten and raped' at one point, however this is not shown, so perhaps more lost footage.

Because almost 43 years have passed, when I finally watched the DVD last night, it was like a new film. I could hardly recall any of the plot (except the missing opening sequence).

For modern day viewers with 21st century mores, I would say this film and its direction will seem dated and implausible.

Only really recommended to people of a 'certain age' who want to remind themselves that the 'Swinging Sixties' were not actually as cool as they remember the period.
