May 1985 West Berlin


Lewis Allen: The Uninvited (Paramount Pictures, US 1944) starring Ray Milland and Gail Russell.


Musta peili viewings.

1 May 1985  The Leopard Man. Jacques Tourneur. (2). Not a horror movie.
1 May 1985  I Walked With a Zombie. Jacques Tourneur. (3) By far the best of the Val Lewton horror cycle.
4 May 1985  La Chute de la Maison Usher (FR 1928). D: Jean Epstein. A masterpiece. Powerful atmosphere.
4 May 1985  The Phantom of the Opera (US 1943). D: Arthur Lubin. Stately, mild, not uninteresting.
8 May 1985  Circus of Horrors. Sidney Hayers. Unscrupulous exploitation.
8 May 1985  Peeping Tom. Michael Powell. (2) It is fascinating to review after the previous movie, its integrity confirmed.
8 May 1985  The Uninvited. A successful haunted house movie. Ray Milland in fine form.
8 May 1985  The Night of the Hunter. (2). Undoubtedly a horror film.
11 May 1985  The House that Dripped Blood. Amicus episodic horror. 1) A horror writer's vision comes true, qf. The Shining. 2) Waxworks with a Medusa head. 3) Christopher Lee's daughter is a voodoo witch. 4) A vampire actor dons a real vampire's cape.
11 May 1985  The Hunger
11 May 1985  Der Golem revisited
11 May 1985  Vampyr revisited
11 May 1985  Psycho (4) and King Kong are my genre favourites.
13 May 1985  Dr. Cyclops. A colourful adventure horror movie about shrunken people.
15 May 1985  Torture Garden. Amicus episodic horror. 1) A devil cat can make a person rich if it provides humans for food. 2) A woman who aspires to become a film star an eternal beauty: she turns into an android. 3) A monster piano destroys the pianist's girlfriend. 4) The Poe collector's most precious treasure is the writer himself reincarnated in the cellar. - The Amicus episodes' value is probably based on Robert Bloch's stories.
16 May 1985  Les Yeux sans visage [2], DF, now uncut, with face slashed. I had not missed anything.
17 May 1985  The Innocents (GB 1961). DF. D: Jack Clayton. Stylish, intensive. The children may be possessed.
31 May 1985  Der müde Tod (DE 1921) ZDF Rekonstruktion Luft & Labenski. [2] video. I count this masterpiece as a horror film. Death personified.

My Elvis Presley complete records project, Christmas 1984



In 1984 in Stockholm I borrowed from my friend Jouni Suomalainen his complete collection of Elvis Presley LP's, listened to them in chronological order and copied a Christmas selection of favourite tracks on compact cassette tapes.

The conventional wisdom about Elvis was that his 1950s were great, and after the army he went downhill, but Jouni persuaded me to listen carefully to the records of the early 1960s which were his favourites. Indeed, Elvis's voice grew into its full grandeur then, but unfortunately his talent was wasted in too many worthless projects.

The 1968 comeback show was a return to form in all ways. Even his 1950s hits such as "Love Me" and "Trying To Get To You" he now sang with a new, devastating force, made greater through his better command of his voice.

The early 1960s still have a special place in my memories. It was then that Elvis sang his best traditional blues track, "Reconsider Baby", and also his most magnificent spiritual songs. His interpretation of the Swedish hymn "How Great Thou Art" ("O store Gud", 1885, "Oi herrani", lyrics by Carl G. Boberg to a Swedish folk melody) is overwhelmingly better than any other I have heard. Elvis brought the impact of Mahalia Jackson and other great black gospel singers to his version and made other white singers look pale. His voice was rich and subtle, and in his best songs there was a haunting sadness underneath.

Even his most memorable Christmas songs were blues tracks: "Merry Christmas, Baby" (1971) and "Blue Christmas" (the 1968 comeback interpretation was the best).

The selection was also based on the fact that I already had collections of Sun Records.

In 2022 at the Midnight Sun Film Festival in Sodankylä I heard from Vesa Suomalainen that his brother had recently died in Uppsala, Sweden, but not from Covid. I will never forget the friendly gentleman Jouni Suomalainen. He had a distinguished side career as a street photographer all his life.

Jouni Suomalainen: " Jag blev intresserad av ’ street foto ’ när jag var ungefär 14. Min kusin som var 10 år äldre presenterade mig kameror, deras funktioner och syfte. Efter detta presenterade han gatufotografins stora namn, deras bilder gjorde ett stort intryck på mig. Han var perfektionist och duktig fotograf själv, han visade hur man håller kameran, trycker avlösaren och fotar, han tog många bilder på mig och våran familj. Han var så duktig, det väckte i mig tanken om jag kunde göra något likadant. Jouni " 24 April 2021

Jouni Suomalainen: " Street foto intresset har jag haft från när jag var 14. Köpte första riktig kamera när jag var 25. Gick en fotoskola i Stockholm 83-85. Jag är gatuvandrare fotar gatuliv, gillar det mest. " 11 September 2021

NOVEMBER 1984 WEST BERLIN


Mark Robson: The Seventh Victim (US 1943) starring Kim Hunter, produced by Val Lewton for RKO. An unforgettable study of urban solitude and desolation, a predecessor of Hitchcock and Polanski. No Val Lewton horror films for RKO had been theatrically released in Finland or telecast. Only Jacques Tourneur's three RKO horror films had been screened at the Finnish Film Archive (SEA) on 16 mm. It was a revelation to see the complete Val Lewton horror set on video. At the end of the decade, Anne Jokelainen, a SEA regular, booked the first telecasts at Kolmoskanava (Channel 3).

I runne to death and death meets me as fast
And all my pleasures are like yesterday

- John Donne: Holy Sonnets I (1631). The motto of The Seventh Victim.

JUNE 1984 WEST BERLIN


Shinkichi Tajiri & Baird Bryant: The Vipers (US 1955). "Several Japanese Americans established themselves in France during this period. The aforementioned Shinkichi Tajiri, although more known for his work in the Netherlands, originally began his artistic career in Paris in 1948 studying on the GI Bill, and became a protégée of French painter Ferdinand Léger and sculptor Ossip Zadkine. In 1955, Tajiri produced a short film titled The Vipers with Baird Bryant. The experimental film depicted Shinkichi, his wife Ferdi, and Baird and his girlfriend together smoking marijuana - a humorous response to Reefer Madness. According to his autobiography, Autobiographical Notations, Tajiri started the project after a Japanese Hawaiian sculptor loaned him a Kodak 16mm camera and told him to make a film. He decided to create a film that displayed the ritual of rolling a joint interspersed with images of getting high. The film was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival that year and received the Golden Lion Award for “Best Use of Film Language.”" From: Jonathan von Harmelen: "Les Japonais Américains: Recent Discussions of Japanese American History in France" on the Discover Nikkei website, 10 Dec 2021.

Christian Stengel: Je chante / I Sing (FR 1938) with Charles Trenet. Featured in: Marie-Madeleine Nahon: La plus belle affiche... Part I Le Paradis perdu (FR 1980).

I never collected videos (magnetic video tapes). I knew since the 1970s that they are not durable. But I was busy watching, taping and exchanging, for friends, the number one video eagle being Peter von Bagh in Helsinki. In Berlin, top guys were Frank Arnold and Helmut Arlt, and in Stockholm friends like Terhi and teachers and students at the Film Department of the Stockholm University. I kept constantly organizing video evenings for friends.
In year 1983 I only had VHS players, later also Betamax, which was favoured by the big collectors.
These cassettes I kept playing this year.
