 VOODOUN
BLUES (Shock-o-Rama)
Total disc time approx 45 minutes. This DVD EP is made up of three student
films, the highlight/main attraction being Misty Mundae’s Voodoun Blues.
This approx seven minute short, shot on black and white 16mm, shows a
topless woman beating the crap out of her ex-lover (Misty) via a Voodoo
Doll. There is no dialog, but a cool sounding bluesy/jazzy soundtrack
nicely accompanies the film.
Written
and directed by Misty Mundae, I was a bit skeptical of this release due to
Misty’s ties with studio and this being her student project. On the
other hand, I was impressed with Misty’s directorial debut, 2002’s
Lustful Addiction, and after all, she is my sweet sweet Misty and I have
faith in all she does. Of course, I wasn’t disappointed. Although the
storyline isn’t anything new or fascinating, Misty’s directorial eye
concerning camera angles and various shooting techniques is admirable.
Everything else about the short is nicely done and it’s evident that
Misty has the talent to carry her beyond an acting career, if she so
chooses. The DVD also includes two other shorts; Sour Milk has a good/odd
scene of some dude punching himself in the face, but the story really
didn’t make sense to me. The other short is an ultra short that is too
short to comment on, unless you’re the student’s teacher. An interview
with Misty is also included, as are some trailers for other Misty movies.
This DVD is limited to 5000 copies and is available only through
amazon.com and mistymundae.com.
Another fine entry for Misty’s resume. – Denis Sheehan
