6 donne per l'assassino (1964)
A stylish, beautiful and bloody masterpiece
One of Bava's best movies, Blood and Black Lace is sometimes cruel, sometimes sadistic, but always gorgeous to look at. The plot revolves around a fashion model whose murdered and whose diary is exposed. It seemingly implicates everyone in unfavorable doings. Then almost everyone tries to get the diary. The plot is simple (if a little over simple) but ultimately helps the movie in the long run. It lets Bava bewitch us with his beautiful visuals. Every murder is staged with a sense of style, a woman who's face is about to be scarred by a medieval glove is also illuminated in a surreal magenta lighting. Or another victim's face is illuminated by the furnace that is about to disfigure her. It's all every violent but oddly fascinating. Sometimes I find it hard to justify why I like it but I do. It's really a rare beauty.
