Movie review - "The Exquisite Cadaver" (1969) *** (warning: spoilers)

 Thriller about a publisher who receives body parts in the mail.  I'm not that familiar with director Vincenet Amada but he does a stylish job. It's slow moving, more atmosphere in a Val Lewton way.

Film has resonance for Capucine. About a girl who commits suicide (Judy Matheson) as Capucine did, and Capucine is queer, as she apparently was (well, bi) IRL. 

I liked this. A whole work. Makes sense. Attractive women. Done with style.
