Rebecca 2

Can't think of much I'd change about 'Rebecca 2'. It contains various surprise goodies for people familiar with 'Rebecca', 'Vertigo', John Waters, Fassbinder and others, but they're just the neat trimmings. The film works extremely well on its own merits, mixing camp humour, carefully deployed melodrama, a raft of memorable one liners and striking edits, and quite diverse locations & situations (the gambling streak in Auckland, narcotics mishaps in rural New Zealand, the mysterious dominatrix in New York, and an "erotic" hospital sequence that is probably inappropriate to describe here). Reminded me a lot of 'Pink Flamingos' or 'Female Trouble', but a few more plot twists and some surprisingly beautiful shots (that is, given the pretty raw treatment of the more shocking sequences in the movie). Highly recommended.
