Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir #101: Trauma

Genre: Horror,Drama/Horreur,Drame

Annee/Year: 1993

Format: DVD

Trauma. We continue our exploration of the the Italian director Dario Argento. I did not have a great experience viewing the movie Trauma. However now that i am getting ready to present it to you I review the synopsis of the movie and i have to admit it is quite an interesting one. Perhaps the way it is told is a bit twisted. But isn't that what we are looking for? Mixed feelings.

The story is about a sick yound lady who is anorexic, drugged and suicidal and ofa young man who falls in love with her. The girl is mixed to a sordid murder story after both her parents are murdered by a serial killler who's signature is decapitation with a portable wire saw. Yes a bit gruesome. The plot thickens and there is some doubt about how deeply the girl is involved in all this. The whole story is told from the boyfriends' point of view.

The murderer is in reality the young girl's mother who is really not dead and is acting revenge on the doctors and crew who by mistake decapited their baby as she was giving birth. The lady is rendered unstable by a series of electric shocks she is submitted to in order to make her forget the incident. Obvisouly this did not pay off.

Overall typical Argento plot and gore. Good cast (includes Argento's daughter, Asia, in lead role). Good cinematography again. But mixed results.

Le film trauma en est un autre dans l'exploration de l'oeuvre de Dario Argento le directeur Italien. Ce film est encore une fois très bien réalisé et avec une distribution solide qui inclut sa fille Asia dans un des rôles principal. L'histoire est géniale sur papier, mais la restitution sur film perd un peu, peut être sans doute par sa complexité. Enfin.

Trauma est l'histoire d'une jeune fille droguée, anorexique et suicidaire qui est mêlée a la mort de ses 2 parents qui sont décapite par un tueur en série. Le tueur frappe plusieurs fois et le copain de la jeune fille mène une enquête pour protéger sa nouvelle copine. On fait face ici a une histoire tordue ou la mère de la fille (prétendue morte) est en réalité sur une mission de vengeance envers l'équipe de docteurs qui on tue par erreur sont bébé a la naissance en lui tranchant la tête. Elle perd vraiment la tête (sic.) après que l'équipe médicale lui fait subir une série de traitement électrochocs pour lui faire oublier l'événement. Ça ne semble pas avoir fonctionné comme ils voulaient cependant... Ce film est vraiment pour les grands admirateurs de Argento.

Great quotes:
OK not a quote this time but a memorable scene where a man is decapitated by an elevator and the camera follows his head , looking very surprised, as it falls down the elevator shaft. Many may remember this movie for this scene only.
