Product Information
With SPIRITS OF THE DEAD, three titans of European cinema--Roger Vadim, Louis Malle, and Federico Fellini--team up for a stylish film based on the works of macabre author Edgar Allan Poe. Vadim directs the first segment, METZENGERSTEIN, with Jane Fonda portraying the spoiled, vicious Frederique. When she finally meets her neighbor, Baron Wilhelm (played by her brother Peter), her advances toward him are met with rejection. Humiliated, she takes matters into her own hands, leading her into a downward spiral with a tragic ending. Malle takes the middle slot with WILLIAM WILSON, featuring Alain Delon as the troubled hero, a man who has been haunted since childhood by a man with his exact name. After torturing a gorgeous woman (Brigitte Bardot), a final duel brings William's ghosts home once and for all. Last but not least is Fellini's segment, a story set in the 1970s entitled TOBY DAMMIT, which stars Terence Stamp as a spacey English actor who travels to Rome in order to play Christ in a New Testament Western. When he gets the keys to a brand-new Ferrari, he embarks on a dangerous drive that just might cost him his life. SPIRITS OF THE DEAD is a real gem for those who enjoy the surreal and grotesque.Product Identifiers

Creepy
In truth, I only made this purchase to watch the last of the three short stories, the one with Terrence Stamp, directed by Federico Fellini. It’s truly creepy. I had watched it as a teenager and had never forgotten it. I was talking to my grown daughter about it and she said the same thing: She saw it when she was very young and she couldn’t remember if it was real or just a bad dream! Very different, memorable. I had to give the DVD four stars because the other two stories by different directors are only OK.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Not Your Typical Horror Movie
Spirits of the Dead is a collection of three fairly short films by three different directors based on less well-known stories by Edgar Allan Poe. The three directors, Roger Vadim, Louis Malle, and Frederico Fellini, are not horror film directors per se (although Vadim had made a horror film Blood and Roses in 1960 which is considered by William K. Everson to be one of his best movies), so it is interesting to see how such accomplished directors handled the challenge. Needless to say, they each handle it in their own accomplished ways, ways which are to some degree superior than the general horror film. These are art films which add a philosophical dimension to the underlying suspense. They are each supremely enjoyable, if one does not mind that they are not full-length feature films--which keeps any of them from becoming tedious. There are also less ambiguous delights such as Fonda in a role requiring far greater depth than we might be accustomed (especially since her very next film, also with Vadim, was Barbarella) and Bardo in two of the movies as a brunette. But my predilections aside--I'm also a huge Louis Malle fan--I recommend this collection for the serious film viewer or to those who like the Poe period films.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Blast From the Past
I first saw this movie on TV as a child, it was highly edited and had been dubbed over. This was my chance to see it in its original state and it did not disappoint. Very engaging performance by a super young Jane Fonda in the first story.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
