A lizard in a womans skin 1971 download

I enjoy them because they're so stylish and wonderfully wierd and intriguing! The early seventies fashions are fascinating to watch. It's the mid 70s fashions that I have such a hard time with. I love that crazy mix of hippie and mod from the early 70s, especially in "Lizard in a Womans Skin" when the characters are so sophisticated.

The sets in the film are also gorgeously early 70s. I recall a big sitting room with brown walls! Also, the sexy neighbors' huge bachelorett-pad with all the fur. Too trippy! Florinda Bolkan is gorgeous! I love her name too. I like the international atmosphere of giallo films with stars from different countries filmed in different parts of Europe.

Jean was always so cute and clean cut, yet he starred in so many disturbing films! Thanks for the great review of a new favourite of yours, Ken.

Very enjoyable to read! Hi Wille Given how I've only just now seen this film so many people seem to be familiar with, I"M the one late in responding! I'm not great with gore, but a good deal of my tolerance for it is in it's context. I really have a hard time with a lot of the kind of "woman hating" violence common to a lot of American horror films.

The context of the violence in "Lizard" is so much in the service of recreating the jagged sensibilities of the female lead, I can thoroughly get behind it.

It feels like madness and we wonder if she is indeed going mad. But mere shock-effect gore makes me avert my eyes, too. That Alexandria Palace location is quite stunning! The footage shot on the roof is some of my favorite from the film. Florinda Bolkan just blew me away. What a marvelous face, and such a substantial actress. She grounds the film and saves it from being camp.

I really am eager to check out more of her films. And I also like how she's dressed in this. As you say, the early 70s's has a bit of style that got lost later in the garish part of the decade. I saw the trailer for "Perversion Story" and outside of the groovy fashions, 'm thrilled to see it was shot in San Francisco!

Have to see it now! Also, Jean Sorel is very handsome. His fave is so chiseled it looks like they used it as a model for one of those puppets from the "Thunderbirds" TV show. I always enjoy hearing from you, Wille. You have an enthusiasm for film that's matched with a very keen perceptiveness about what works for you and what doesn't.

Makes it very fun reading your thoughts on a film. Hi Ken, when I try to comment your excellent reviews I want to give it some thought and it can take some time! I also want to read the comments left by others so that I don't repeat what's all ready been said. You're always so gracious when you respond your followers. It's so true that Jean Sorel could be the inspiration for the Thunderbird puppets!

Poor Stanley Baker, he had chiseled looks of a different, less "cinematic", variety. I can not understand how he was considered star material. You are right about how Florinda's role could have been played more hysterically by some other actor. I want to see more of her too. She was very big in Brazil and Italy. What I remember the most of this film are the two spooky looking hippies naked on the balcony.

This really is a nightmarish film and I want to see it again soon! I love Ennio Morricone's cool easy listening music for this film and other similar ones from the same age. I am squeamish when it comes to violence no matter how artistic. I really enjoyed "Deep Red" plotwise, for example, but the violence was just too much for me.

However, "Le Orme" has all the weirdness of the giallo film with very little bloody violence. I can definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it. Thanks for offering the recommendation. I don't know "Deep Red" but I love having all these potential films to explore.

It's certainly a way for me to discover what my own limits are when it comes to screen violence. Just read this. Glad you enjoyed the film! It was my company Mondo Macabro that released this in Blu Ray. We went the extra mile to make it special and I'm really happy that people are getting so much out of it.

It's a fascinating film. Another very stylish early 70s giallo with a bizarre title. Please forgive the plug! Really an outstanding job what with all the extras and the pristine restoration. My hat's off! They don't make 'em like this anymore. Since posting this I've discovered more giallo films I enjoy, so I'm thrilled to hear of the forthcoming release of The Fox with a Velvet Tail, a quirky title I'm wholly unfamiliar with.

Who knows? Plug away! Can't believe I'm just getting to this now. Thank you very much, and love your site! Ken, I look forward to your review of Fox with a Velvet Tail! I think you'll enjoy it. What made me check back on this page and notice my derelict response is that my birthday is coming up and someone who reads this blog gifted me with a copy of "Fox With a Velvet Tail"!! I'm stoked! I know nothing about it, but I'm very happy your company releases such pristine copies of these gems for fans of classic '70s giallo --which I may be, without knowing it.

Keep up the good work! I hope you like the film. Many happy returns! You cite Hitchcock, Russell, Carpenter in your review - but my take is that Fulci took the situation from Fellini's "Juliet of the Spirits" wife with strained relationship with cheating husband is intrigued about sexy next-door neighbor woman's decadent parties and skewed it to another level.

The split diopter shot Extreme close-up of Bolkan on the left, butler on phone in background on the right, both in sharp focus you have as one of your picture grabs is a technique De Palma, almost alone among American directors loves to use.

Carol is the beloved daughter of the wealthy and prominent lawyer and politician Edmond Brighton and Frank is his partner in his office and has a love affair with Deborah. Carol's next door neighbor Julia Durer is a depraved woman that promotes parties with drugs and orgies. Carol has psychoanalyze sessions with Dr.

Kerr and is intrigued with a nightmare where she stabs Julia to death three times with a couple watching the murder. When Julia is found dead in her apartment, the efficient Inspector Corvin and his partner Sgt. Brandon are assigned to investigate. All the evidences point out to Carol, but was a dream or reality? Not Rated. Did you know Edit. Trivia The scene in which Carol encounters the disemboweled dogs in the clinic became quite controversial because of the startlingly realistic and graphic appearance of the fake prop dogs.

Could it be that someone has read her dream diary that she kept and modeled the killing on dream images she described in order to frame her for something she fantasized about? Corvin also wonders who the two hippies are that she claims to have witnessed her crime without intervening. As Carol is awaiting trial in the grounds of a maximum security sanitorium, she sees one of the hippies break in and chase her through the grounds. Carol flees into the building and in trying to hide she enters a room containing a hideous experiment: four live dogs, claimed in an upright position, whimper helplessly, their abdomens sliced open and pinned with surgical clamps exposing their glistening innards and still beating hearts.

Carol faints in horror. When she comes around, there is no trace of the threatening man. Once there, Carol is attacked by the hippy man in the cellar and chased through the building where she gets attacked by bats in the attic and gets brutally stabbed as the hippy catches up to her on the rooftop. But Carol is rescued by the police, forcing the hippy man to flee. The next day, Joan is found murdered in a field with her throat cut. Corvin finally tracks down and arrests the hippie couple, Hubert and Jenny, whom he takes to the scene of the crime to interrogate them about the Durer murder.

Then a phone call comes informing the police that Brighton has been found dead at his estate, the victim of a suicide, and leaving behind a note confessing to the murder of Julia Durer which seems to wrap up the case. When Corvin asks Carol about the phone call that her father got from Julia Durer which Carol admits that she knew about, he asks how did she know that Julia Durer phoned Mr.

Brighton on the day before she was murdered since he never told anybody about it.
