Editorial Reviews

Franois (Claude Brasseur) is a television writer who is both down on his luck and new ideas. He travels to Nice France in the hopes of finding inspiration. He walks along the cold winter beach where he encounters an attractive young woman named Peggy (Mireille Darc). Her icy attitude leaves Franois little hope of starting a relationship however Peggy is soon disarmed by his warmth and personality. Their encounters continue but Franois is troubled by the fact that he knows nothing about the girl and Peggy volunteers no information about her past or present. Murder has been committed and everyone is a suspect!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR Age: 018619770795 UPC: 018619770795 Manufacturer No: 77079DVD

I have seen this movie in France when it first came out and was very thrilled to be able to get a DVD copy. However, even though it was advertized as being in French language, I was disappointed to receive a movie very poorly dubbed in English.

Would be thrilled if it is released in its original form and would buy it without second thought as it is one of the best suspense movies I ever seen.

2.0 out of 5 stars Les Seins de Glace, September 10, 2010

This review is from: Icy Breasts (DVD)

The trouble with punning titles is that they rarely translate. Case in point Les Seins de Glace aka Icy Breasts, a play on the chilly few days of Les Saints de Glace, which at least suits its frigid femme fatale, who may be an emotionally disturbed recovering drug addict or an innocent victim of smitten lawyer Alain Delon's Diabolique-ish manipulations. Though it has to be said, we know she's disturbed pretty much from the off because no sane woman would ever put up with Claude Brasseur's smartarse soap opera screenwriter, who is so relentlessly irritating that you'll want to hit him long before one of the cast does. An adaptation of Richard Matheson's Someone is Bleeding, one of those house of secrets/twist in the tail numbers, there aren't many surprises, unless you count how little screentime Delon actually has despite producing the film for his then-girlfriend Mireille Darc. Very much a B-movie with A-movie production values it's more vaguely tolerable than particularly enjoyable (not that the English dubbing helps), although the final scene is surprisingly well handled.

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost A French Giallo, July 26, 2010

This review is from: Icy Breasts (DVD)

I bought this release because I am a big Alain Delon fan and was surprised to have a found a gripping ,suspense thriller which resembles Jess Franco's 'VENUS IN FURS' but without the supernatural elements. It's also based on a novel by Richard Matheson called 'SOMEONE IS BLEEDING'; A struggling writer on sabbatical encounters a beautiful woman who appears coincidently as his character in his current novel and slowly becomes obsessed with her. The woman slowly reveals a nightmarish web of subterfuge and murder and Delon plays an attorney also smitten with the woman and who may be a player from her past. The tension builds throughout its running time keeping the viewer guessing until its tragic climax. Razor blades and trench coats give it a Giallo feel but it never fully becomes one. A beautiful music score by Philippe Sarde and great euro landscapes pepper the proceedings. The quality is OK, English dubbed and full screen with some washed out color in some stretches but the films power is not diminished. For fans of euro thrillers and for something different than the usual Hitchcock renditions which graced the screen predominantly in the late sixties.
