Topic: The Eyes of Laura Mars


  
  Movie-Vault.com: Print Review
"Eyes of Laura Mars" -seems like it missed a 'The' in that title- was one of the first movies written by John Carpenter, but it wouldn't actually fit into the horror genre, it's more of a thriller, as a matter of fact it's very much alike some of today's average thrillers.
The thing is, all these victims are either Laura's friends or co-workers, so she tells the police about this; they don't know if it would be good to believe her words, but the cop on the case, John Neville (Tommy Lee Jones), believes her and tries to be as helpful as possible.
Laura's photos usually involve half-naked women, which makes some people complain about her work, saying her pictures promote pornography and such; so someone who doesn't like what she does may be responsible for the killings.

Laura actually witnessed the death in first person, as if through her camera lens she was able to see through the eyes of the killer.
Laura’s shocking photo shoots may seem a far stretch, but it is very much what happens on every horror film set, so for Carpenter the material seems to hit close to home.
Eyes of Laura Mars features a provocative and clever screenplay by John Carpenter, although the final act fails to deliver on his initial ideas.

"Eyes of Laura Mars" may be a flawed picture to some degree, but it's a great semi-kinky period piece [only "semi" by today's standards], the actors are good and paranoid and appropriately overwrought, and there is an atmosphere that holds this well-directed/well-edited film together.
"Eyes of Lara Mars" is fantastically put together from the dynamic opening song by Barbra Streisand to the last frame -- it's a feast for the eyes and a great mix of glitzy 70's fashion icons and suspense.
And I should add that Faye Dunaway is at her most mesmerizing in this role, conveying with her intense eyes alone all the terror and sorrow and frustration of Laura Mars.

 Eyes of Laura Mars - DVD
Comment: "The Eyes of Laura Mars", is a thriller I have long enjoyed both for its vivid imagery of the 1970's New York fashion scene and for its most original core idea that drives the suspense in the story.
Combining the improbable worlds of violence and fashion, with a story that centers on a famous photographer (Dunaway) and her ability to *see* her friends and colleagues being stalked and murdered, *Eyes* has moments of serious suspense, but that's hardly the reason to see this movie.
Utilizing the actual photography of fashion god Helmut Newton, the film maker has exquisitely captured the 1978 New York fashion and disco scene in a way that none of the recent looks at the Seventies has been able to, but then, again, this movie was *made* in 1978, not 20 years later.
