information about the restoration summary although mario bava is most known for his horror films his filmography was diverse and he excelled in whatever genre he worked in comedy was the genre mario bava is least known for he only directed two films in this genre dr goldfoot and the girl bombs le spie vengono dal semifreddo and four times that night quante volte quella note where dr goldfoot and the girl bombs le spie vengono dal semifreddo was a satire of 1960s spy cinema four times that night quante volte quella note marked mario bava s only foray into commedia sexy all italiana that said humor was a central element throughout mario bava s filmography four times that night quante volte quella note employs the rashomon effect a storytelling method based on akira kurosawa s film of the same name narratives that use the rashomon effect revolve around a collection of characters who each provide their memories of an event and each memory contradicts the others four times that night quante volte quella note revolves around a lecherous playboy and a virginal virtuous young woman whose accounts of a date greatly differ two other characters provide their accounts of what happened that night a peeping tom doorman and a scientist while a narrative that features the same scenario four times might turn out redundant four times that night quante volte quella note always manages to engage with its four distinctly different recollections of that night they are all equally entertaining most of the humour comes from characters reactions to unwanted sexual advances and character stereotypes that said the funniest moments come from the guard character there is a cartoonish like quality to the moments with the guard all around the cast are outstanding in their roles especially the two leads daniela giordano violent rome and brett halsey the devil s honey another performance of note is dick randall in the role of the doorman although the female cast members provide plenty of eye candy the male cast members are not left out brett halsey s character wears a speedo when discussing the cinema of mario bava four times that night quante volte quella note like all of his films is beautifully photographed other areas where four times that night quante volte quella note excels are its exemplary production design and coriolano gori s massacre time score which perfectly underscores the mood ultimately four times that night quante volte quella note is arguably mario bava s most underrated film it is a highly entertaining example of commedia sexy all italiana

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
