goodbye gemini (1970). alan gibson.

it's been a very long time since i've last watched a film so annoying n disturbing in the worst of senses. from the opening scene i was very perplexed regarding the awfully digusting choice of a song that was probably meant to be cheerful but was only hideous n painful to the ears. the score did improve luckily and the cinematography wasnt that bad but i had real trouble watching it also because of the totally disgusting protagonists pair. these twins were just beyond ugly, n well since they were twins there was a danger of OD-ing on monstrosity. so i dont even know if it's worth mentioning the plot, it s two retarded twins anyhow, the girl looking like 40 n acting like a flirty 7 year old (very uncharming) n the boy just acting like an overcheerful moron n then like a highly moody moron. they play these jolly pranks that kill their housekeeper or sthg like that n they think they rule n kick ass or whatever shit they can think if they can think n then they meet these ppl  who r part of the swinging 60s london scene, which is quite reasonably depicted n they hang out with these ppl but still acting like the queens of the world n well it just turns out they r complete idiots n everyone s using them n takign advantage of them but they still imagine they r in charge of the game. then when this obviously blind n deaf guy Clive tries to blackmail them they go nuts n dress up as ghosts in one of these witty games of theirs n actually force a blade into his throat, after that what a boring mess of a plot. they lose eachother, the police is after them, they find each other n so sorry to reveal this magnificent unexpected ending filled with tragedy n climax: the one kills the other n then hopefully dies as well.
the girl and boy twins who r in love theme is overused n overexploited even though in this case i was really hoping they end up together for the sake of humanity so that nobody else would have to face them, the charisma of these twins is dangerous to viewers without a strong stomach, Judy Geeson is pretty untalented and abominable in any case -not to mention as this over cute smart Jacki which allows her to smile so much that i was at the verge of puking and well there were some characters that were completely pointless in the film also...
yeah just bad, bad, bad, bad.
