毒美人

　　This movie (not to be confused with another Carroll Baker vehicle "Kiss Me, Kill Me" aka "Baba Yagi--the Witch")is Umberto Lenzi's follow-up to his groundbreaking classic "Paranoia". It came out the same year as Dario Argento's "The Bird with Crystal Plumage" (the film which started the deluge of Italian gialli) and was produced by the Martino brothers, who later made a number of interesting giallo films (usually featuring Eugenio Martino's alluring mistress, Edwige Fenech). It stars Carroll Baker, demonstrating her acting chops here by playing a character that is the exact opposite of the naive victim she played in "Paranoia", and it also features two excellent, native European actors--Jean Loius Trintignant and the gorgeous Erica Blanc. The script is surprisingly well-written and full of suspense and genuine surprises. It is a clever variation on the classic French film "Diabolique" with a decadent, high-society husband (Tritignant), wife (Blanc), and mistress (Baker) all crossing and double-crossing each other. It cleverly plays with the viewers awareness of the earlier film before throwing in an unexpected curve. It also seems to be very well filmed. (It's hard to believe that years later Lenzi would be making nauseating and inept cannibal films like "Cannibal Ferox" or just plain inept American slasher movies like "Hitcher in the Dark"). I say seems, however, because this film is only available on second or third generation copies of Greek videotapes that are not only panned-and-scanned, but are very badly panned-and-scanned so that the characters are often halfway off the screen. Trying to appreciate this movie is like trying to appreciate a beautiful painting that has both sides cropped off and is covered with really murky cellophane (and burnt-in Greek subtitles). If Lenzi's crap movies like "Ferox", "Hitcher", and even, god help us all,"Eaten Alive", can get the star DVD treatment, why can't "Paranoia" or this little gem? Oh, but I almost forgot--despite the title there isn't too much perversity here. Baker has a lot more nude scenes in "Paranoia". There is some Blanc-related nudity (although, in my opinion, you can never have enough of that), but the lesbian relationship between the two of them is unfortunately only hinted at. Of course, it may just have been cropped out. . . 　　译文(2): 这部电影(不要与卡罗尔 · 贝克的另一部作品《吻我，杀了我》又名《八木爸爸——女巫》混淆)是翁贝托 · 伦齐开创性的经典之作《妄想症》的续集。这部电影与达里奥 · 阿尔金托(Dario Argento)的《水晶羽毛的鸟》(The Bird with Crystal Plumage)同年上映(这部电影开启了意大利吉亚利的洪流) ，由马蒂诺兄弟制作，他们后来制作了一系列有趣的吉亚利电影(通常是由尤金尼奥 · 马蒂诺(Eugenio Martino)的迷人情妇埃德维奇 · 费内奇(Edwige Fenech)主演)。影片由卡罗尔 · 贝克主演，她在片中扮演的角色与她在《妄想症》中扮演的天真无邪的受害者截然相反，展示了她的演技。片中还有两位优秀的欧洲本土演员——让 · 洛伊斯 · 特林蒂南特和美丽的埃丽卡 · 布兰克。剧本写得出奇的好，充满了悬念和真实的惊喜。这是经典法国电影“魔鬼”的一个聪明的变化，一个颓废的，上流社会的丈夫(Tritigant) ，妻子(Blanc)和情妇(Baker)都互相欺骗和欺骗对方。它巧妙地利用观众对早期电影的意识，然后抛出一个意想不到的曲线。它似乎也被拍摄得非常好。(很难相信多年以后，伦齐会拍摄令人作呕、无能的食人电影，比如《食人魔 Ferox 》 ，或者只是无能的美国恐怖电影，比如《黑暗中的搭车人》)。然而，我之所以这么说，是因为这部电影只能在希腊录像带的第二代或第三代上映。这些录像带不仅经过了平移和扫描，而且平移和扫描得非常糟糕，所以角色经常离开屏幕一半。试图欣赏这部电影就像试图欣赏一幅美丽的画，画的两边都被剪掉了，上面覆盖着非常模糊的玻璃纸(还有烧焦的希腊字幕)。如果 Lenzi 的垃圾电影像“ Ferox”，“ Hitcher”，甚至，上帝帮助我们所有人，“生吞活剥”，可以得到明星 DVD 治疗，为什么不能“妄想症”或这个小宝石？哦，但是我差点忘了——除了标题，这里没有太多的变态。贝克在《妄想症》中有很多裸体镜头。有一些布朗相关的裸体(虽然，在我看来，你永远不会有足够的) ，但不幸的是，他们之间的女同性恋关系只是暗示。当然，它可能只是被裁掉了. 。 收起
