Review

Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997) by Guy Madden is a 90 minute dream that takes place in a mythical land where the sun never sets in the summer, and the world is mostly below ground, but some is above. A political prisoner is released, and returns to his native land and his sister, who has been running the family ostrich farm with the help of a hired man. The sister, played by Shelly Duvall, is in love with an evil one legged doctor and hypnotist, who does every woman in the cast except her. The hired man, Frank Gorshin, hopes to inherit the farm. Our hero falls in love with the first woman he meets, Pascale Bussières, and nearly has an encounter with Alice Krige. Of course, the good doctor is doing both of them. Oh, and then there is this statue of Venus that also plays a part I couldn't quite figure out.

This is every bit as strange as it sounds. Not only is the plot off-the-wall, but it is shot in overly-saturated and soft focus colors, for a very bizarre look. I have no idea what genre to call this other than twisted and totally strange. Given that as a genre, this film meets the criteria, and is therefor a C. Some of the visuals, although very artificial colors, are artistic.

Nudity Report: Bussières shows her fabulous backside, and the side of a breast, in a love scene of sorts half way through the film.

IMDB Summary: IMDB has this at 5.2 of 10.
