response and information about the restoration summary a middle aged woman traumatized by the death of her son and her lover moves into a boarding house and creates a shrine for the latter although lamberto bava has forged a four decade career as a director most of his contemporaries have stopped making films there s no denying that it must have been difficult living in the shadow of his father mario bava italian cinema s most celebrated director of horror cinema looking over lamberto bava s filmography there are a few standout films that have held up well over time his best films are the result of collaborations with other prominent italian filmmakers for example macabre is a film that stands out in lamberto bava s filmography that said how much of macabre is due to lamberto bava or filmmaker pupi avati s creative influence the idea for macabre originated with antonio avati and pupi avati who then reached out to lamberto bava with the idea of directing it besides coming up with the idea there are many elements throughout macabre that bear a strong resemblance to pupi avati s the house of the laughing windows which ultimately furthers the premise that lamberto bava was a director for fire whose contributions to the film were minimal while there are many elements in macabre that are widely associated with horror cinema it is important to note that the film also incorporates other genres to simply approach macabre as a horror film would be doing this film a serious disservice since the result is something that is closer to a psychological melodrama outside of a few moments like the scenes where the protagonist s lover s head is decapitated and where she drowns a child in a bathtub macabre s level of carnage is minimal fortunately macabre is a film that relies heavily on atmosphere when discussing a film like macabre its taboo subject matter a deranged love story that involves necrophilia is front and center the protagonist a woman named jane baker procures her deceased lover s severed head and keeps it in a freezer although some of the shock derived from its taboo subject matter it s rather tame when compared to other similar themed films that succeeded it like nekromantik macabre s heart and soul are bernice stegers xtro portrayal of jane baker she delivers an utterly convincing portrayal of a character who s consumed by obsessive love other performances of note are stanko molnar in the role of a blind man who runs a boarding house and veronica zinny s in her one and only role terrifying portrayal of jane s equally demented daughter lucy ultimately macabre is an exceptional debut film that set the bar so high that lamberto bava never made a better film macabre gets an exceptional release from powerhouse films that comes with a solid audio video presentation and a wealth of insightful extras highly recommended note about the 4k screenshots it is not possible to make dolby vision or hdr10 screenshots that faithfully match the

terrifying girls high school film series as a child the traumatic event of watching her police officer father murdered turned ochô inoshika towards a life of crime years later she searches gambling houses looking for her father s killers her only clues are three cards that hold the key to uncovering their identities along the way she gets involved in a card game that will determine the fate of a young woman who she promised to free from the world of prostitution sex fury is the first film in a series of two followed by female yakuza tale inquisition and torture both films star reiko ike graveyard of honor in the role of ochô inoshika a gambler who s also deadly with the sword furthermore sex fury and female yakuza tale inquisition and torture had different directors content wise and stylistically there is not much separation between these two films sex fury dives right in with an excellent pre credits sequence that lays the groundwork for why the protagonist has devoted her life to revenge from there the narrative does a phenomenal job of balancing exposition and action as pacing is never an issue another strength of the narrative is how effectively it builds momentum towards a sensational finale that perfectly brings ochô inoshika s journey to a climax the main attraction is reiko ike s portrayal of ochô inoshika she delivers a scene stealing performance that is arguably the best of her career though ochô inoshika bears all the traits that one has come to expect from japanese female assassins the result is a character that actually stands apart from the rest of the pact not only does ochô inoshika ooze sexuality but she is also a force who can go toe to toe with any man not to be overlooked is christina lindberg s thriller a cruel picture portrayal of a british spy named christina despite her limited range as an actress she still delivers a charismatic performance that relies heavily on her physical presence that said the rest of the cast are very good in their roles without a doubt one of sex fury s most durable assets is norifumi suzuki s stylized visuals which heighten the mood a few standout moments include a scene where a bathing ochô inoshika is forced to fight assassins in the nude and christina s death is one of the most beautiful deaths ever filmed that said the scene that stands out more than any other is an elegant ballroom sequence that introduces christina from a production standpoint there is no area where sex and fury does not excel and then some there is never a shortage of nudity depravity or carnage with some dark humor thrown in for good measure the fight scenes are spectacular especially when it comes to the strategic placement during the nude sword fighting another strength is composer ichirô araki s exemplary score which does an exceptional job reinforcing the mood ultimately sex fury is one of toei s high watermark films of the 1970s and a must see if you re a fan of pinky violence cinema female yakuza tale
