Those aren&#8217;t really the credentials I look for in a director.  So I can hardly blame you if you suppose his latest movie, The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh, wouldn&#8217;t be worth watching, even though he somehow finagled Vanessa Redgrave into lending it her stately voiceover.  But rather than read anything I have to say to the contrary, watch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bzw8qdXCep8\">this minor masterpiece of tableau<\/a>.  Seriously.  Just watch it.  It&#8217;s only six minutes.  And it&#8217;s the six minutes that sealed the deal for me wanting to see Gudino&#8217;s latest movie without knowing anything else about it.<\/p>\n<p>Last Will and Testament presumably stars Aaron Poole &#8212; I know him from Ed Gass-Donnelly&#8217;s fascinating Small Town Murder Songs &#8212; as a man staying in his mother&#8217;s house shortly after her death.  But the real star of the movie is the production design for the house.  If you watched the short I linked above, you&#8217;ll see in this movie&#8217;s set the same amount of lovingly eerie detail.  You&#8217;ll also see the camera once again as an active participant.  Gudino uses it to prowl the house with otherworldly intention.  Is he showing us things?  Is this someone &#8212; or something &#8212; looking at things?  Is this a ghost&#8217;s point of view?  And how does he explain Redgrave&#8217;s voiceover?  Although it&#8217;s ultimately more mood than plot, I&#8217;m convinced it all makes as much sense as it needs to make.  And although it&#8217;s slow, creepy, and subtle, it&#8217;s perfectly willing to be shocking.  There are at least two &#8220;what the effing eff did I just see?&#8221; scenes, including one where I couldn&#8217;t see half the scene.  But when Gudino wants to show you something, he sure knows how to show it.<\/p>\n<p>The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh is currently available on VOD services.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Last-Will-Testament-Rosalind-Leigh\/dp\/B00E8AVS1I?&#038;linkCode=wsw&#038;tag=quartothre-20\">Watch is here on Amazon.com to support Qt3<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[45],"class_list":["post-23991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","tag-horror"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
