PRIMAL IMPULSE
(AKA: LE ORME)(1975)
In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics
A stretch to call this sci-fi! A woman is
having dreams about the moon and a couple of
guys on it! She's compelled to go to a resort
area where she finds out the truth of what's
happening to her! Or does she? C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This is actually a very good surreal mystery
movie, despite the description that tries to
sell it as a Sci-Fi movie. Balkan stars as
a woman haunted by mysterious visions and
lost memories that she is trying to piece
together. She spends the majority of the
movie trying to make sense of her visions.
Very atmospheric and effective. It is true
that Kinski does not appear very much in
this film, but the staring actors are very
good. There is only an English dubbed
version available in the US, and the
dubbing leaves something to be desired,
but the actors do a very good job. The
cinematography, by Academy Award winner
Vittorio Storaro is excellent. An earlier
Giallo by director Bazzoni, THE FIFTH CORD,
is also excellent, and also lensed by
Storarro. - novax67
