Review of Bang Bang Baby (2014) by Frances H — 14 Oct 2015

A delightful pastiche of everything from Jacque Demy real life musical to David Cronenberg body horror, Bang Bang Baby shouldn't work, but miraculously does. It's a charming, whitty musical romp in glorious Technicolor (or at least as close as you can get now a days) with a few bizarre mutations thrown in.

St. Jules embraces the strangeness and surrealism of it all as we are treated to people with bottles growing out of their stomachs, talking mutant babies and even a duet between the villian and the mouth growing out of his neck.

It's so off the wall, that in the end it manages to loop back on itself to give everything a rational explanation. You might not think Bang Bang Baby is any good, but with so many layers it can't help but be intriguing.
