"Madeleine: Anatomy of a Nightmare" features Camille Keaton as an American living abroad in Italy with her older husband. She is traumatized by a miscarriage she's suffered, and is plagued by intense nightmares that seem to be related to the event. As expected, some psychological unraveling (or something like it) follows. This little-seen psychological horror flick is really more of a chamber drama featuring various hallucinatory images that range from trite to genuinely creepy; these visuals manifest in dream sequences experienced by Keaton's character as she is romancing two different men (aside from her husband, who seems oddly unbothered by her affairs), and sometimes in brief intercuts that occur while her character is awake; in the latter instances, there is little context and the sequences appear to be random more than symbolic. It is this precise disjointedness that characterizes "Madeleine," though it's not a complete failure. The film does manage to be engrossing even while the narrative feels oblique and arbitrary, and this is largely because the cinematography and visuals are more or less effective, and the film also functions as a time capsule of gaudy '70s European style. Keaton's performance is overwritten by bad dubbing, and, as is the case with most Italian horror fodder of this period, the dialogue feels disingenuous, sometimes absurd, and at times laughable. Despite its shortcomings, the film does have a clever ending that is borderline-Hitchcockian, and I was caught off guard by it. Even still, "Madeleine: Anatomy of a Nightmare" does not quite work as well as it should. The meandering narrative punctuated by a number of LSD-esque visuals leaves the viewer wanting something a bit more, as none of the themes really coalesce. The conclusion, to some degree, acts as a cop-out to fill in the gaps that precede it. That being said, it is worth watching for fans of Camille Keaton, as well as anyone with a curiosity or interest in 1970s Italian psychological horror--it is certainly strange. 6/10.

I have no idea what category to place Madelaine: Anatomy of a Nightmare of a nightmare into and that's great. It resists buckets, it avoids categories, it detests convention. Madeleine (Camille Keaton) is a young American woman who is vacationing for the summer at one of the many homes of her much older, much richer an much Frencher husband Dr. Franz Shuman (Silvano Tranquilli, So Sweet, So Dead). Every night, she dreams the same dream, one of women with multiple colored hair chasing her through the woods and demanding to live through her, which may be a manifestation of the miscarriage she's just suffered. Then, they lead her to the wrecked car with her husband's charred body inside and then the coven throws the a child's coffin into the inferno. Franz permits his wife to do whatever she wishes, including bringing home a college student named Thomas (Pier Maria Rossi) home to seduce (while he watches, his eye inside the eye of a portrait of his son Luis, who is played by Riccardo Salvino). She mentions that Franz studies both psychology and the occult; Franz mentions that she's probably schitzophrenic, to which she adds that she feels as if someone else controls her. Thomas confesses that he has a girlfriend and can no longer see Madeleine. She coldly invites im to a gathering at their home to celebrate Luis returning from America. Thomas's girlfriend Mary (Paola Senatore, Eaten Alive!, Emanuelle in America) who proceeds to gets drunk, strip in front of the assembled guests and writhe like a possessed animal. Both Mary and Franz take turns seducing her, followed by Thomas discovering Franz just as he's finished. In response, he walks into the swimming pool and drowns. In response, Madeleine leaves Franz and meets with her other lover Antonio (Gualtiero Rispoli) and their canoodling is interrupted by her husband, who makes her confess her many affairs, causing Antonio to abandon her and Franz to shoot her. If a giallo/possession/art/ghost/demonic movie can have a Wizard of Oz twist, why not? Luis, Thomas and Franz are all watching over Madeleine in a hospital. Luis is truly her husband, Mary was her nurse and Franz and Thomas are the psychiatrists who have been trying to help her. Se's left with crystal clear therapy, their Night Killer-level weird therapy session seemingly fixing her mental illness. As she leaves with Luis, she literally breaks the credits by loudly proclaiming that Franz is her husband. Directed and written by Roberto Mauri and featuring gorgeous cinematography by Carlo Carlini (Enter the Devil, Street Law, Autopsy), it's easy to see why this was Keaton's favorite of the six films that she made in Italy. I may have a weakness for movies where women go mad, but this is a wonderful example of that story, told well, looking gorgeous and filled with moments of unexplained strangeness, such as when the butler sees something at the edge of the estate, recoils in horror and wanders back to the house.

This movie starts with a young woman (Camille Keaton) having a strange nightmare where she's chased through the woods by strange people in psychedelic-colored fright wigs. Back in the "real" world she picks up a hitch-hiking male student and takes him back to her villa for some * swimming and hot sex, while an older relative or lover(?), played Silvan Tranquino, spies on them. They go for a ride on her speedboat and there's a flashback to (another?) a former lover who was apparently killed in an auto racing accident (cue the usual gratuitous 70's Italian auto racing footage). There's some more hot sex on the boat and a slow-motion, boob-bouncing * horseback-riding scene before the couple hit a trendy discotheque. Then it's back to the villa for a swinging party where the seemingly dead former lover shows up with another woman (Paola Senatore). The movie only gets exponentially weirder from there, finally culminating in an ending that is kind of like "The Wizard of Oz" on really bad acid. It's hard to classify this movie. At first, it seems like a Gothic horror, but it lacks a lot of clearly supernatural elements. The excellent visuals and music suggest a giallo, but it really lacks the mystery thriller elements (and the large body count) of that genre. It COULD be considered a sex film--the gorgeous Keaton is often clad scantily or not at all and the incredibly sexy future * star Senatore does a wild striptease. But the actual sex is pretty tame (especially compared to the same director, Robert Mauri's, unbelievable raunchfest "Le Porno Killers" a few years later), and a potential lesbian scene between Keaton and Senatore is tragically aborted (Oh, the humanity!). This movie doesn't make a lot of sense frankly and there are long stretches where nothing is happening. The ending doesn't entirely work either. Still it has very good visuals and music and it kept my interest simply because it is so unpredictably bizarre. Far from being a bad actress, Camille Keaton is a mesmerizing presence. She was not only a stunning beauty, but she has an amazing face that is alternately ethereally innocent and seductively sinister (she's best known in America, unfortunately, for the notorious grindhouse "classic" "I Spit on Your Grave", but check her out also in "What Have You Done to Solange?" and "Tragic Ceremony"). Silvano Traquino was a very underrated Italian character actor who appeared excellent gialli like "The Bloodstained Butterfly" and "Smile Before Death". And as for Paola Senatore--well, how can I put this. She could no doubt give a dead man a raging erection. This is very hard-to-find and currently only available in Italian. But if that doesn't dissuade you too much, definitely check it out.

Roberto Mauri ("Eva, la Venere selvaggia") was not a great director and this "Madeleine, Anatomia Di Un Incubo" is not even his most famous movie. This is a rare and obscure film, it has some nice ideas but the director doesn't follow them very fine and so we get a confusing plot. The end of this ambitious movie is quite original and interesting tough, if we think this is from 1974. I recommend to see it only for the surprising end. There is the usual Camille Keaton ("Day of the Woman", "Cosa avete fatto a Solange?"), beautiful woman but mediocre actress. My vote is 6 on 10.

More mind games among the filthy rich; this time a mysterious millionaire (giallo mascot Silvano Tranquilli) and his young mistress (pretty little Camille Keaton) corrupt an idealistic hippie couple -but wait ***SPOILER*** nothing's what it seems in THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. ***END SPOILER*** The horror here is psychological in nature but the quixotic (until the payoff, anyway) storyline holds the interest and should appeal to connoisseurs of fine Eurotrash. Like fellow American ex-pat Mimsy Farmer, fragile Camille Keaton was never shy when it came to * scenes and made some groovy Italian genre flicks in the early 1970s. Best known as the vigilante heroine of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, Camille was also the grand-niece of silent comedian Buster Keaton and the last wife of a "Mr. Judy Garland", Sid Luft, who was thirty-five years her senior.
