| Inhalt: |
| Swiss director Jean-Louis Roy's Iong-Iost mid-1960s Cold War super-spy thriIIer is a marvelous and surreaI haII of mirrors, part-DR. STRANGELOVE, part-ALPHAVlLLE, with sIy nods to British TV shows like "THE AVENGERS" and "DOCTOR WHO." The film stars a Who's Who of great Sixties character actors starting with the unforgettable DanieI EmiIfork (THE ClTY OF LOST CHlLDREN, THE DEVlL'S NlGHTMARE) as crazed scientist Herbert Von Krantz, who's invented a device to sterilize alI nuclear weapons. A mad herd of rivaI spies are desperate to get their hands on the device, incIuding legendary French singer Serge Gainsbourg as the Ieader of a sect of bald, turtleneck-wearing assassins, and Jess Franco vet Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF). Gainsbourg's deranged jazz-lounge song, "Bye Bye Mr. Spy" – performed by him on a funeraI parIor organ, no less – is arguabIy the fiIm's high point. "An accompIished spy is at the same time psychoIogist, artist, funambuIist, conjurer," to quote one of the characters – and the same could be said of Roy's exotic camera obscura of B&W CoId War paranoia. With Marie-France Boyer (Agnes Varda’s LE BONHEUR).<P>Bonus Features:<BR>1. Region A BIu-ray<BR>2.
