Lucifer M 19h A beautiful homage to 60s-70s spy films with an avant-garde, grindhouse twist that’ll have any cinephile gushing over it. Lines are blurred between what is memory, what is real and what is fiction. With phenomenal cinematography, slick editing and a gorgeously talented cast, I simply don’t have anything negative to say about this great piece of art. It’s been a few days since I’ve watched it and I’m still pondering on this film. I just wish films like this had more recognition See more B P 6d Pulp Meets High Art in Kaleidoscopic Eurospy Throwback See more DanTheMan 2 Nov 30 A thrillingly kaleidoscopic and note-perfect pastiche of the Eurospy capers of yesteryear, Reflection in a Dead Diamond offers frenetic spectacle for the discerning genre fan. Yet for all its flash, there is a haunted story simmering beneath its reflective surfaces, taunting us with the possibility of a narrative, while constantly refusing to let a conventional story materialise, instead bombarding us with an ever-impressive montage of brutally surreal and ambitious audiovisual spectacle that fuses Eurotrash flesh onto giallo bones. Waves crash, and the drinks fizz. Diamonds, leather and lashings abound. Directors Cattet and Forzani plunge us into an experiential world that becomes increasingly fragmented as the boundary between fiction and reality blurs throughout the film's rapid-fire pacing and incredibly colourful design. Infused with just the right amount of playful gore, wasting not a single second throughout its expansive reshaping of perception, Reflection in a Dead Diamond offers an array of dizzying stylistic flourishes that make it a visually intoxicating, deliriously entertaining and drop-dead-gorgeous adventure, one that is worth its weight in diamonds.
