Beyond the Valley of The Dolls is the ultimite cult film about a rock group
who leave their home bound for L.A. where they meet a selection of society`s
freakier specimens,from Ashley StIves,porn star who seduces the band`s manager
Harris, to Z-man Barzell an influential Hollywood type with an ego the size of his mansion
who helps the rock group, under his name of the Carrie Nations rise to fame.This
rise is peppered with sex, drugs and rock and roll, an inheritance and a lot of parties!
Of course it can`t last and everything reaches a climax and comes crashing down at Z-man`s last and most memorable party where he indulges in a little role-play with his guests with himself as the fabulous and all powerful Superwoman.Losing track of reality, all sanity is lost when Z-man goes on a wild killing spree.Considering the brutal murders, the film ends on a surprisingly optimistic note and a sweet little tune which clashes interestingly with the Carrie Nations`songs we hear throughout the film which are rock and roll at its best! |
