Movie Title: 5 Dolls For an August Moon 5 Dolls For an August Moon is available for streaming or downloading. |
Mario Bava has taken a step assist to his alarm genre and created a psychadelic, mysterious, sexy, shadowy comedy. The film is TERRIBLY dated to the gradual 60s/early 70s. (The girls watch like they unprejudiced walked out from the ‘Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls’ spot) . But DON’T let that terminate you from viewing this VERY unique fraction of film!
The set is simple: A group of married friends are on a ‘getaway’ weekend and they net themselves being killed off one by one. THATS IT! Sounds like a “Ten Tiny Indians” clone, good???? Unsuitable! You have the brutality of “Fargo” in some spots and the wickedly Murky comedic moments as in “Pulp Fiction”. If you liked both of those films, you will appreciate this itsy-bitsy seen Bava masterpiece. The music is TOTALLY 60s, the outfits are fair out of the Jimi Hendrix thrift store, and the stage sets leer like a ‘hippie’ Brady Bunch area. Its a FUN movie!
Without a doubt: This was Design before its time. Very scrumptious! Even though its not Dismay, (its more of a mystery), this is a MUST for Bava fans!
Although Bava said this was his worst film, “Five Dolls…” is now enjoying a powerful deserved re-appraisal. When I saw a washed-out 35mm print some years ago, I was inclined to agree with the director’s view, but the DVD release has laid any doubts I may have had to rest. The unusually framed compositions, frenetic zip-panning, intrusive zooms and gaudy colours give the film a psychedelic Eurotrash ambience that is difficult to resist. The unconvincing characterizations and hackneyed position are lost in a welter of striking incidental details: hundreds of glass baubles rolling down a staircase and into the bloody water of a suicide victim’s bathtub, being a particularly impressive example. The kitschy easy-listening soundtrack compliments the visuals perfectly, humorously underscoring the hanging of the corpses in the freezer with childishly despicable fairground music. The English dubbed track seems suffers from occasional irritating crackles, so I suggest you appreciate this garish “10 Runt Indians” variant in Italian with English subs. Riddled with loose ends, it’s not one of Bava’s most gargantuan movies, but it’s by no means devoid of the classic, new touches that are associated with his name.
