Let me tell you, when I read about this movie - about Brigitte Nielsen playing a music video director who is obsessed with finding love and making a movie about Billie Holiday while taking care of her jewel-covered turtle - I knew I had to track it down.
It's running on our site during giallo week and it's not particularly a giallo. But I honestly have no idea what kind of movie this is. That said, it does have Tomas Arana (The Church), David Warbeck (The Beyond) and Geretta Geretta (Demons) in it, so there's that.
To top that off, writer and director Ivana Massetti was pretty much the same person as the lead character in this film, a female director in a time where that was quite rare. She had the idea to experiment here and make a film with hardly any dialogue. Or story, to be honest.
Domino wants love, so when she gets a phone call that promises her that romance is possible and that love can be real, she starts to see the world with much different eyes. She can certainly do better than having a mannequin for a lover, right? But what if that voice on the other end of the phone is a lie?
I guess it has some giallo feel as she's being stalked by a man and wants to turn the tables on him. There's also a dream where she speaks to the ghost of Holiday. Honestly, you'll have to decide for yourself whether this movie is art or pretension because I tend to love things that make no sense and any time I recommend them to people, I get the strangest looks.
Shh - I loved this insane, gorgeous and yet completely inane film.
