That “Candy” girl is at it again… and again…
Film Synopsis
After witnessing a murder in a nightclub, a young woman becomes the prime suspect and flees with a stranger who claims he wants to help. As they navigate the swinging streets of 1960s London, a psychedelic mystery unfolds through fragmented clues and surreal encounters. Their journey blurs the line between reality and illusion as they close in on the real killer.
Critical Perspective
-
The film is essentially about the deceptive nature of appearances, especially as they pertain to human relationships. Down on his luck actor Bernard places his faith in Jane and does everything he can to assist her, but is he right to do so? The film explores this idea as their relationship evolves from their initial “cute” meetings to an apparently deeper understanding. This being a giallo, however, things are seldom as they seem, and the film builds to a climax that is as surprising as it is audacious.
