Jess Franco's THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR (1973) Comes to Blu-Ray!

On June 30th Mondo Macabro will offer pre-orders of this amazing psychological drama from writer/director Jess Franco. I consider it one of his best films and I was very happy to be asked to contribute to the release. Here's the full announcement and at the bottom I'll provide a link to the page that will carry the sale on the 30th. Exciting to see this lesser know film finally get the kind of attention it deserves!

Ana, a young songwriter and piano player, lives alone with her father in a large house on the island of Madeira. She meets a boy and they plan to marry. However when she tells her father of their intentions he tries to persuade her to call off the wedding.

With the help of her aunt, Ana continues with her plans and one day her expensive wedding dress is delivered. Ana puts on the dress and runs happily through the house to find her father. Entering his study she sees, reflected in a mirror, her father hanging by a rope. He has killed himself.

Ana leaves the island for the mainland and gets a job playing with a jazz band. However, she is haunted by visions of her dead father calling to her from beyond the mirror, summoning her to murder any man who gets close to her. Gradually the mirror world takes over Ana’s life until she can no longer separate fantasy from reality.

With a stunning performance by Emma Cohen as Ana, this was one of Jess Franco’s most unusual and personal films. This is its first ever US release and a world premiere on Blu-ray.
