Review of The Other Side of the Underneath (1972) by Mark B — 23 Jan 2010
A discordant double bass wails while a woman in a crumbling room overlooking an industrial estate sits up in bed with a sheep, being terrorized by another woman in a skullcap and huge paper mache nose who keeps asking in a creepy witch-voice "Do you want a magic hat or not.".
One of the subtler, less unsettling scenes in Jane Arden's screamingly insane meditation on the female psyce and what have you.
This is one of those films which I love for being made a bit more than I love watching, like Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain or Eraserhead. But I do LOVE that it was made, here in Britain, and that someone somewhere paid for it, in more ways than one.
