Cinema Cycle - Lorna



CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)



DATE REVIEWED: 12/26/2017

TITLE: Lorna

FORMAT: Laserdisc

TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 79 minutes

DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 16.6 miles

TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 8370.4 miles

SYNOPSIS: A young wife's infidelity leads to devastating results on the bayou.

CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Sexplotation and working outside the Hollywood system.  A lot of raw emotion and violence.

PROS AND CONS: I have a real soft spot for Russ Meyer.  The guy made films his own way and he did it quite well.  Imagine if Fellini and Hitchcock got together and dropped acid.  You would get this film.

On this viewing of the film, it evolves for the viewer when you can look past the sexuality and the violence to the well written script and the moral undertones, the viewer is fascinated and then giggles at what it going on. 

This time around, the soundtrack really stood out of the stereo system I was listening to while watching.  The 35mm black and white print is also well shot and lends to the tone of the film. 




This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.

Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film.

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle. A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
