She Killed in Ecstasy (1971)

Posted : 12 years, 3 months ago on 22 February 2012 10:44

Filmed almost simultaneously with "Vampyros lesbos" - commonplace in the career of its author that the parallel shooting different films - "She Killed in Ecstasy" is one of the best examples of the peculiar work of Jesus Franco.

The Spanish director has always been an esthete and a voyeur at any cost and the film not only contains Soledad Miranda in all its glory, is also a classic tale of revenge in which each frame, usually from odd angles, if not forced, it seems a cartoon illustration, typical film series B. The variegated colors of the interior decorative elements beyond the Pop Art and the presence of modern architecture on the outside are another element to consider. It also repeats the eclectic music of the german Hรผbler/Schwab combining Funk Jazz with natural sounds, distorted voices and presence of the sitar, composing a sounds very of its time, early seventies.

It is unfortunate that both your routine as your poor exposure and predictable plot development does not contribute to magnify a movie that just looks like a draft of her twin in gestation, the already mentioned "Las vampiras / Vampyros lesbos."
