8/10
Brooding psychedelia.
14 June 2019
If IMDB is anything to go by, this would be one of nine films released by Jess Franco in 1984. Having watched the film, and knowing the mixed reputation for Franco's films in general, I was surprised by the quality of this film. Not only is it beautifully shot with great locations, the film has a careful pacing to compliment its delirious dream sequences and soundtrack. Yes, the ending is very sudden and a bit out of place, but it didn't ruin the overall experience of the film. Lina Romay drifts through her dreams with an almost ghost-like intensity that is underrated.

A very ambient experience that personally puts Franco in a new light for me.
