After recently viewing the wonderfully off-beat Un succes commercial (1970-also reviewed) I decided to look for a Canadian flick from the 80's to watch. Looking at my un-played pile from the decade, I spotted one I had picked up after reading lazarillo and Woodyanders reviews,leading to me meeting Tanya.
View on the film:
Splashing credits on the screen as waves wash over a naked Vanity against Jean Musy's dark synch score, director Alfred Sole & future Scream (1996) cinematographer Mark Irwin place on the island a gloriously bonkers atmosphere of sleazy Canuxploitation flesh and a downer freeze frame,with New Age Freudian (!) babbling, amped up by Pierre Brousseau's screenplay hilarious stumbling dialogue attempting a sincere psychoanalysts of Tanya and the beast within man, leading to a fantastic,utterly strange twist ending.
Swinging from a blood-socked Tanya, (played by a charmingly rubbish Vanity, whose awkward, flat line delivery adds to the weird delights) and Lobo (played by a delightfully gruff Richard Sargent) to a jungle containing a Rick Baker and Rob Bottin designed frisky gorilla, Sole happily piles the weird atmosphere high, thanks to sliding from one extreme of Psychotronic in Lobo's turn into a screeching savage, to the other,in the sight of the howling gorilla called Blue, shaking the cage with a lust to get his hands on Tanya's islands.
