Review of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970) by Tor M — 20 May 2015
A weirdo piece where we follow a young girl in her dreamy fantasy world.
Vampires, masks, religion, monsters, weasels, love and horror are all elements here.
It's expermental but not that far out. It's unique and brilliant in a way. The fact that the film is semi-graphic when an experimenting 14-year is the main thing here is of course very controversial. It does not ruin the film, but it makes it spookier and completes the story in some way. A mixture of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Nosferatu" - surreal and lovely photographed.
It's a short film and that's a good thing. Not since it's bad, but things don't go to far then. A cinematic dream that shifts from being silly, horror-like and beautiful.
It's also way cool that one of my favorite "Broadcast" songs are hugly inspired by this film.
6.5 out of 10 ear rings.
