Hitchcock's unproduced Kaleidoscope which was to be based on the real-life 1940s British acid bath serial killer John George Haigh is something that I so desperately wish would have been produced.
The cinematography, music, and sound really make 𝘼 𝙄𝙨 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙞𝙙 good. If you love British melodrama and soaps (not my cup of tea) that are noirishly dark, then you will likely love this film.
Unfortunately, I had high hopes that 𝘼 𝙄𝙨 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙞𝙙 (2002) would be something…
If you can suspend the stupid-as-f*ck premise of this film, then you will enjoy it; but, the premise of bringing a single young handsome man into your home when you're married to a goddess played by Alexis Smith, especially when the jerk is a criminal, it is a recipe to ruin your life. Nonetheless, it's a decent film noir.
I LOVE THIS FILM!
WATCH IT!
I worked in the film section of a library & the foreign films were novel to me & blew my mind. This was the first one I took home from work & I kept it for months because no one requested it. The next film which I took home from that job that had a huge impact on me was Masculin/Feminin.
