sorry for the mistakes!
The
oxymoron of the title is a good parallelism with the contrast of
opinions. For some, a great film, for others a mediocre work.
It isn’t certainly the best Sergio Martino,thriller
version, the one that sits behind the camera, but at least there is
commitment and perhaps a desire to change a bit 'than usual. Several
characteristics that give excellent pictures and a great soundtrack
written by Bruno Nicolai.
In the midst of his period thriller, after having given birth to "The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh" of a previous year and in the same year of "Your Vice Is 'a closed room ...." Martino tries again but in this case with a London setting, gray, rainy and surreal elements.
It
takes a little' inspiration from Satanism-thriller ofPolansky, without
achieving the quality and play it safe with the cast relying on loyal Edwige Fenech and George Hilton.
But
the effort does not reach one hundred percent the goal, slipping on a
plot that does not hit too much and lost in the visionary and
esotericism.
Fenech graceful and sad is the protagonist. She is launches into a performance appropriate to the story thanks mostly to a "physique du role"
that a change in her way of acting. Hilton and Rassimov are engaged in a
part who know very well. The first is always the handsome, Richard, as
well as the lover's shoulder turn, while Rassimov, given its "individual
form" can not do anything that bad.
Sergio Martino
tells the story of Jane, a woman that after a car accident loses the
child she was expecting. Treated by a psychiatrist she knows in the
meantime a nice neighbor who slowly drives her to join a sect and to
attend the black masses. But the situation certainly, does not improve
and Jane felt in the grip of severe nightmares no longer distinguish
fact from fiction. The murders that surround the story makes it even
more intricate.
Panned
by critics but appreciated by the audience, "All The Colors of the Dark
..." is a movie to watch, for the aforementioned desire to leave the
known tracks. Of course, the result could be better.
