5 Bambole Per La Luna D'Agosto
He talks and everyone say he was right. More or less all. All right,
Mario Bava is a myth of the movies made at home, we just love it,
but we don't agree on the fact that in his opinion, this film has
not gone well.
In a cascade way then, critics and audiences have gone along, leaving
to a small group the goal of speak well about this movie.We are
among those, but we must also admit that "5 Bambole Per La Luna
D'Agosto" is not among the best movies in the huge filmography of the
director and is not even in the history of cinema.
This thriller of 1970 has its good defects. A very thin plot, granted
if you will, that sometimes becomes too bizarre, not to mention a
final absurd. But 5 Bambole Per La Luna D'Agosto" has a number of
very positive things such as great aesthetics, a wonderful
soundtrack composed by the usually immense Piero Umiliani and
other small features that lead us to appreciate it.
And we can say that we like it from the beginning. With its apathy on
the bored bourgeoisie, with a YOUNG Fenech dancing sexy and wild,
on the zoom in of the director. We also like it later, when we
see a seductive scene with transparent marbles rolling down the stairs.
And we are fascinated by the smash horror film, the storage of
the dead, one by one, in cellophane and then in a cold room, the
measures announced by a hypnotic tune.
Will be already clear that the environment is pop, made up of objects
that would drive crazy every designer or simply a fan of the late
sixties and early seventies. Extravagant design, architecture
textbook, stuff that would end today under the label of "vintage".
Perfectly in tune with the rise of the middle class are spending
their time between the parties and betrayals of their respective
partners. Not all is happy though, because this place is a colorful
place where many people invited to a mansion on an island owned
by a wealthy industrialist, to try to convince a scientist to
sell a staggering formula, slowly, slowly begin to be killed.
Summarizing the comparisons and if you like this is a pop version of
"Ten Little Indians" by Agatha Christie.
Interpreters are a number of actors from long resume. From young Edwige
Fenech that become more familiar with one of the many genres in
which we will see her to William Berger, austrian actor we've
seen in many spaghetti westerns, thrillers and also dramas. With them
was also Ira Von Furstenberg known more for gossip more movies,
however she has participated in several films, and at the end the
Frenchman Maurice Poli other permanent presence in Italian movies and
Helena Ronee.
From thriller "5 Bambole per La Luna D'Agosto" becomes an archaeological mystery when we speak about its location.
For IMDB it was filmed at Anzio in Tor Caldara, but it is a thesis that
does not convince many people, as well as the fact that the
staircase seen in the last scene is the one of the EUR in Rome. What is
almost certain is that the exterior of the villa is one of the
many tricks of the great Bava
