a kafkaesque giallo
A street sweeper finds a man, apparently dead, lying in a park. An ambulance is called. The camera shows the route followed by the ambulance: A grey city is revealed with old buildings and statues. A feeling of gloom and sadness permeates the screen, underlined still more by the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack of Ennio Morricone. Welcome to Prague, the city of Kafka.At the hospital, the doctors, after examining the body, declare him to be dead. But he’s not really dead! Even if he doesn’t show signs of life, he’s conscious and screams silently (he can’t move or talk) for them to save his life. In fact, as his body doesn’t show the rigor mortis or putrefaction signs usual in the dead, they think that maybe he’s not really dead and decide to try to reanimate him.
On searching his effects, the hospital attendants discover that he is Gregory Moore (Jean Sorel), an American reporter. The film is divided in two parts – the remembrances of Gregory Moore and the attempts of the hospital staff to revive him.
After Gregory’s girlfriend Mira (gorgeous Barbara Bach) mysteriously disappears, he decides to investigate on his own to discover what lies behind it. As his investigation progresses, the local police become gradually more hostile. Something horrible is happening. But the people that could shed some light on this story either refuse to speak or are “removed”. Gregory is now on what could be his final journey. What happened to him? The atmosphere of mystery, fear and perplexity surrounding Gregory is excellently portrayed in “La Corta Notte delle Bambole di Vetro”. If you want to know more, see the film. It’s a very good giallo.
“La Corta Notte delle Bambole di Vetro”‘s cast (Jean Sorel, Ingrid Thulin, Barbara Bach, Mario Adorf) adds still more charm to the film. It’s interesting to say that Ingrid Thulin appeared in Bergman’s “The Silence” (1963) that takes its place in a strange and mysterious city of eastern European appearance!
Highly recommended!
Eyes wide open!
It often happen to see movies in which it is quite difficult, if not impossible, to understand why some people decide to make evil actions. In Kubrick Eyes Wide Shut, for example, it is not clear why so many people decide to act in such a way (I refer to the orgy and rituals of the old mansion) and this is probably because such reason is eventually not functional to the real message of the story. On the contrary, in this obscure but very enjoyable Italian giallo, the ritual has its logical explanation, which is also nicely hidden in the title of the movie (short night…glass dolls…): it is a desperate and illusory attempt to keep young, to fight death. But also, as it has been suggested by the director himself, an attempt of the old generation to live at the expenses of the young ones (a political statement nowadays even more real and rue than it was back in the ’70s). Beyond this simple concept, the movie itself develops quite nicely, supported by a good cast and a nice score by Morricone. Prague looks the perfect location and the final is quite unusual and strong… Definitely worth seeing and rediscovering it… another Italian hidden gem from the Seventies!
