Check out DVD Drive-In for my review of Jess Franco's PAULA-PAULA on R0 NTSC DVD from Intervision Pictures Corp. An audiovisual experience based on Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, PAULA-PAULA is about a nightclub performer Paula (Carmen Montes, Jess Franco's SNAKEWOMAN) who is institutionalized for killing another nightclub performer, also named Paula (Paula Davis). She is questioned by a doctor (Lina Romay) but her answers are evasive. The solution to the mystery is somewhere in her mind which is deluged by psychedelic images of the other Paula's shapeshifting hallucinatory performances and the living Paula's hazy libido. The real star of the film are the jazz tracks of Friedrich Gulda, an Austrian composer who scored Franco's masterful NECRONOMICON/SUCCUBUS. The late composer's family gave Franco some unused tracks and they are presented here in stereo under Franco's osbsessive imagery.
