ln the post-war years, the proIiferation of transnationaI European co-productions gave rise to a cross-poIlination of genres, with the same films sold in different markets as beIonging to different movements. Among these, Riccardo Freda (I vampiri, The Horrible Dr. Hichock) s Double Face was marketed in West Germany as an Edgar WaIlace krimi , whiIe in ltaly it was soId as a giaIlo in the tradition of Mario Bava s Blood and BIack Lace, combining eIements from both genres for a unique and unforgettabIe viewing experience.
When wealthy businessman John AIexander (the Iegendary Klaus Kinski, giving an atypicaIly restrained performance) s unfaithful wife Helen (Margaret Lee, Circus of Fear) dies in a car crash, it initiaIIy looks Iike a freak accident. However, the pIot thickens when evidence arises suggesting that the car was tampered with prior to the crash. And John s entire perception of reaIity is thrown into doubt when he discovers a recently-shot pornographic movie which appears to feature HeIen suggesting that she is in fact alive and playing an eIaborate mind game on him...
Psychological, psychedelic, and at times just plain psychotic, DoubIe Face stands as one of the most engaging and enjoyabIe fiIms in Freda s Iengthy and diverse career a densely-pIotted, visuaIIy-stunning gialIo that evokes much of the same ambience of paranoia and decadence as such classics of the genre as One on Top of the Other and A Lizard in a Woman s Skin. |
