Should be on the sequels list- I think the campy humour is so much fun. When horror sequels take themselves too seriously it puts me off. This was a great follow up
I have to disagree with @daredaniel. I think this movie stands out because of its over-the-top camplike humour. Had it tried to take itself seriously, it would be just a mediocre martial arts film.
the use of Cinemascope, for the first time I've seen, completely takes away from the film. the high quality makes Forbidden Planet look ridiculous. this would have been better in black and white or lower resolution film.
The way the men treat Alta is notable. either they treat her as an unknowing child-- 'let me teach you the ways of stimulation through kissing and hugging' or 'how dare you parade yourself around in from of these perfect males with the average age of 24.6...' as if she should known better.
As much as I like the character of Cleopatra, I think the story is stronger for excluding her. She is so dynamic that she pulls focus whereas here the focus stays on the betrayal
Predates other surveillance films such as The Conversation (1974) and Blow Out (1981). it really caught on to the wide spread feeling of paranoia in the States- even before Watergate
In 1988, British filmmaker Cynthia Beatt, who lives in Berlin, and young actress Tilda Swinton set out on a film bike tour into a little-known territory. Capture Berlin. Today, CYCLING THE FRAME is an unusual historical document, and Tilda Swinton, who won the Oscar last year, has long been a star.
Twenty-one years later, in June 2009, Cynthia Beatt and Tilda Swinton followed the line that cut the wall through Berlin. In THE INVISIBLE FRAME they followed the same path through the diverse border landscapes, but this time on the west and east side of Berlin.
Where once the standstill of organic growth through the building of the wall shaped the landscape, 20 years after the fall of the wall, uncontrolled growth or development blurred the traces of the course of the border. The rhythmic interplay of fixed shots and tracking shots results in a pulsating circular movement, encircling East and West Berlin that interweaves both sides. Personal reflections of Tilda Swinton as inner monologues complement the 'Soundscapes' composed of original tones by Simon Fisher Turner, who already worked with Derek Jarman and Tilda Swinton in the 80s.
