Thematically similar to most of his key works, Terence Stamp's crumbling lead character is the main focus, and his disintegrating sanity is laid out on the screen with a collection of flashing images, bizarre characters, and unconventional camera-work.

Later, Home Vision released a higher quality version with four additional minutes of footage, using much finer source material. The top international stars of their day: Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Terence Stamp, Alain Delon and Brigitte Bardot. because, maybe at the first sigh only, the film seems use his work only as pretext. After winning a card game against Giuseppina (Brigitte Bardot) through repeatedly cheating, his other half exposes him, and the two face a duel. My vote is four.My global vote for these adaptations is five.Title (Brazil): "Histórias Extraordinárias" ("Extraordinaries Stories").

Your favorites, all in one place. That's right, this segment's biggest distinction is that it features a romance between real-life siblings Jane & Peter.

because, after the final credits , remains only the drawings in dust. But Alain Delon makes a good performance and you vibrate much more than with Vadim's movie.

Peter and Jane Fonda, two good performers seem totally lost in this uninteresting, dull and very clumsily narrated story. Odd story structure here and Brigitte Bardot (in a black wig) is good support during a fateful card game. I love the brevity of the episodic format. He approaches the other's bed at night, apparently sees his own face on the sleeping boy and "passed silently from the chamber, and left at once, the halls of that old academy, never to enter them again.

Ultimately, his character gets a bit out of hand and, uh, loses his head. Striving hard for art's sake, he misses the mark each time.

Making siblings playing cousins in love tells us something (or maybe a lot) about Vadim and his mysterious Slavic soul and reminds about Poe's own dramatic love for his first cousin, Virginia Eliza Clemm, whom he married when she was only 13 and whose death at the age of 25 from tuberculosis could have let to decline of his own mental state and his untimely death less than three years after her.Poe explores in "William Wilson" very popular in the Art and literature subject of a man and his double that represents his conscience, his dark and hidden. In contrast to Vadim, Malle is so talented at the art of suspense that he can make a simple card game exciting. a sort of experiment. Please enable it to continue.

Terence is completely believable the entire time.

The screenplay is again a bit poor but that's not his fault perhaps. A jaded, alcoholic actor is invited to Rome to film a spaghetti western based on the life of Jesus Christ and attend a bizarre Italian version of the Oscars.

However, I wouldn't mind sitting through those turkeys once again for the sheer pleasure of the third segment: Fellini's "Toby Dammit" with a superlative Terence Stamp. In one chapter of this three-in-one feature inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's tales, a countess (Jane Fonda), shunned by a horseman (Peter Fonda), kills the man and his animals yet pays dearly for her deadly act. stars, Romanticism, the shadow of Edgar Allen Poe and the mark of directors.

and pieces of old velvet.

The reason I wanted to see the movie so much was the CD that I bought some time ago - a compilation of some of the most beautiful themes composed by Nino Rota for the films of Federico Fellini. The story of a man haunted by his duplicate is not very original indeed. a good kick to read Poe. It tells a familiar doppelgänger story of the wicked William Wilson (Alain Delon) who is also interrupted by his 'better half' who shares his name and his appearance, but none of his evil ways. An enjoyable, if unspectacular overall film, with the stories getting notably better as the film goes on.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com. 'Spirits of the Dead' (1968), a French-Italian production narrated by Vincent Price, features three Edgar Allan Poe stories adapted for the screen and directed by three of Europe's most fascinating filmmakers of the period (choke!

My vote of 9 is only for Fellini's entry, Toby Dammit.

The first one directed by Roger Vadim is a complete failure.

because it is only a puzzle of directors and texts and actors and memories.

Abdullah says the "Say Her Name" phrase used by BLM was designed to encourage followers Spirits of the Dead the 1968 Movie, Trailers, Videos and more at Yidio. If you really must ogle the young Jane Fonda, get Barbarella.

The torture is briefly in Melville's film, but described more fully in the novel: "By the spasmodic flaring of the gas lamp he could be seen to be a small boy with his back against the wall, hemmed in by his captives...One of these...was squatting between his legs and twisting his ears...Weeping, he sought to close his eyes, to avert his head. Vadim doesn't seem to have any comprehension of suspense or what it takes to present a story that, if not scary, is at least spooky. eccentric. Terence Stamp stars as a wasted British film star (looking like an effeminate junkie) and gives an awesomely convincing performance. Spirits of the Dead (Italian: Tre passi nel delirio, French: Histoires extraordinaires) is an "omnibus" film comprising three segments.

Unique, unnerving, jaw dropping, funny, delightful gem of a film. There was one track I kept listening to over and over. The version I saw (titled TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION) is subtitled, but a dubbed version also exists featuring narration by Vincent Price. I'm a big fan of horror anthologies, especially the Poe/Hawthorne ones from Roger Corman and the Amicus films. An angel-faced but throughly rotten and sadistic man (Alain Delon) is hounded by a mysterious man that shares his name. This was a tight, satisfying little story.

In Poe, Wilson does not try to strangle his doppelganger, nor is he expelled from the school. ).Vadim's segment (‘Metzengerstein'), starring Jane and Peter Fonda, is a real stinker. The snow fight, the torture, the significant hit by a snowball, the expulsion from school are not in Poe's tale.But all these elements ARE in Jean Cocteau's novel LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES.

Spirits of the Dead 121 min- ... You'll be constantly looking at your watch, but don't let "Metzengerstein" discourage you from seeing the other two stories.

Your call on the second one. Some reviewers have been put off by the scenes of misogyny--and to be honest, they did seem to spill over into exploitation. "Metzengerstein": the bored and corrupt medieval countess Frederica (Jane Fonda) spends her futile life in orgies and cruelties.

The English-language version features narration by Vincent Price. Instead he becomes imprisoned in his own personal hell. The third is about a boozing actor (Terence Stamp) who accepts a car as compensation for a role, but is ultimately defeated by addiction. When she destroys a pure soul, her distant cousin Wilhelm (Peter Fonda), horses and fire play a key role in her demise. Reviewing the picture under its English language title Spirits of the Dead, Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote that "Toby Dammit, the first new Fellini to be seen here since Juliet of the Spirits in 1965, is marvelous: a short movie but a major one.

"William Wilson": the sadistic and cruel soldier of the Austrian army William Wilson (Alain Delon) confesses to a priest the cruelties he committed along his sinful life and the participation of his double also called William Wilson in specific moments of his dreadful life.This short directed by Louis Malle is the certainly the best segment of these adaptations, showing the fight between the dark side and the human part of the same character.

The first, entitled Metzengerstein, is directed by the man that helmed Barbarella, Roger Vadim.

Apparently he agreed to take on the job in order to raise money for Murmur of the Heart, and compromised to make the film more accessible to mainstream audiences.

The two described how they invite spirits of the dead to help fight today's alleged racial injustice. It is also an attack on celebrity, as the characters that Dammit comes across don't react or flinch at his increasingly strange and unpredictable behaviour. Any sadism is, at most, implied: "If there is on earth a supreme and unqualified despotism, it is the despotism of a master mind in boyhood over the less energetic spirits of its companions."
