Succubus / Necronomicon (1968)

Posted : 12 years, 1 month ago on 17 March 2012 06:31

I don't understand how this film is among the best examples of Jesus Franco film, still speaking of his most declared, more open film series B and in a few channels stylistically more unhinged. Fewer still understand that personalities such as Orson Welles (and not the only) praised this work, unless it will guide his friendship with the other hand, great Jess.

The worst of this story that does not communicate, it does not attract attention at any time, is its pretentiousness, its absurd and decadent style so seedy. Well filmed and influenced by the comics of Guido Crepax (known is the director's interest in graphic stories) would be the only contribution of some value. Also boasting a jazzy musical cutting. But when so many mixed ideas, why not say, so many genres, confusion becomes the main character and you can not save this baroque display of personal obsessions that do not fit in any way and leave a feeling of futility for any message.
