the ghastly love of johnny x
is a tribute to film in both senses of the word, a paean to science - fiction films of the 1950s and to the benefits of shooting on film rather than with digital cameras. it is a black and white widescreen science - fiction musical about
juvenile delinquents from outer space
, which is enough to make it memorable. but what entitles it to an entry in the annals of film history is that it was the final film ever to be shot on kodak' s now discontinued 35mm black and white plus - x film stock, which had been manufactured since 1938. that made bunnell' s film significant enough for nbc nightly news to run a feature on it and for the library of congress to hold a copy .
a decade in - the - making, the ghastly love of johnny x really comes together in the details. in order to make such a concept pop, this one needed as much research as guts and gumption to see it over the line, and filmmaker paul bunnell has obviously invested a significant amount of time and money into making sure his film rises to its many, many sources of inspiration. i can see john waters in here; i can see alien invasion films; i can see the big monster movies of the atomic age; i can see west wide story; i can see james dean' s oeuvre; i can even see a bit of frankenstein and re - animator. the fact that bunnell has managed to rope all these influences together into one cohesive package is a feat that deserves' high five' recognition. the songs by ego plum and lyricist scott martin aren' t quite that of bacharach or leiber & stoller, but they' re tight, finger - snapping ditties that recall the show tunes of a bygone era and ornament the film perfectly without overwhelming it. ultimately, the ghastly love of johnny x is just too unique and beautiful not to recommend. you may like it, you may not. either way, i guarantee it will be unlike anything you have seen before .

johnny x
, i had one of them stuck in my head. my lips soon sang along. francisco bulgarelli' s cinematography is the real triumph: it recreates the peculiar beauty of low - budget 1950s sci - fi films better than any movie i have seen besides tim burton' s
this film is woefully underrated. for me it sparkles as a loving homage to the stuff i enjoyed in the 50s, when movies were honest fun and not just vehicles for the purveyance of slut and filth as they are today. it hearkens back to what hollywood once was while maintaining technological currency. additionally it is the last feature shot on actual black - and - white kodak plus - x 35mm film stock. i predict
the ghastly love of johnny x
will grow to become a cult favorite like
the rocky horror picture show .
mark my words! i have had the opportunity to see this picture in both dcp and on real 35mm film. it looks great in either medium, but the film print adds a certain hard - to - define quality that is woefully missing in most cinema presentations today .

is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice, telling a story of startling cruelty. what a space it opens…
there is surrealism in even the film' s smallest details that recalls something of the work of david lynch. but in lynch' s films the surrealism is inexplicably unsettling. here it is inexplicably amusing. when johnny x' s former girlfriend, bliss (de anna joy brooks), persuades square - jawed soda jerk chip (les williams) to take her away from johnny, chip drives her to a dilapidated drive - in and talks about the double features he used to see there long ago, before it was abandoned. it is the sort of scene we would expect to see in a wistful drama set, at the earliest, in the 1970s. chip talks as if the era of the soda jerk and the drive - in movie is lost to the past but at the time the film is set it would have been at its height .

the concept for johnny x began to take shape in 1 997, when bunnell saw teenagers from outer space (1959), tom graeff' s cult favorite. the script was developed over several years with input from bunnetl and several other writers, including steve bingen, mark d. murphy and george wagner. the idea to add songs came just as the film was about to go before the cameras, and scott martin was tapped to write lyrics and music while ego plum did the orchestrations .

as much of a leading character as those played by curtis and reynolds is the incredibly dynamic score by elmer bernstein. right from the get - go, his electric, jazzy, and spectacular theme grabs you and never lets go. that theme recurs throughout the score – pulsing with the teeming life of the city, with wailing brass and insistent rhythms. some cues keep the big - band jazzy feeling, while others are mournful and tender, as the story requires. it is, simply put, one of bernstein’s best. nobody did this kind of score better than elmer bernstein – it’s just filled with memorable melodies and stunningly gorgeous music. 1960 was a great year for bernstein, what with the rat race and then one of his all - time masterpieces, the magnificent seven. the theme from the rat race enjoyed some popularity and radio play when it was recorded by cast member sam butera and the witnesses .

from the inception of the project, bunnell wanted to shoot the film in black - and - white and widescreen. this was partly an homage to the films that inspired him, but he also felt monochrome would work best for his tale of an outcast teenager from another planet whose ticket home is to commit one selfless good deed. potential financiers did not share bunnell enthusiasm for black - and - white, however, so he financed the first phase of production on his own. that meant tapping into his home equity, a move that seemed much less risky in the mid - 2000s than it later proved to be. with faith in his vision, bunnell produced and edited a 20 - minute section of the movie that would show off the concept, music and talents of the cast and aew. he hired cinematographer francisco bulgarelli to shoot the film .

the rat race began life in 1949 as a broadway play by garson kanin. eleven years later, paramount pictures brought the rat race to the screen, starring debbie reynolds as a down - on - her - luck model and dancer, and tony curtis as a new to new york aspiring musician. the great supporting cast included jack oakie, kay medford, norman fell, and a very young don rickles. as with the broadway play, several notable musicians were also in the cast – reprising his broadway role was joe bushkin, and gerry mulligan and sam butera also appeared. the film was directed by robert mulligan (it was his second film, after fear strikes out – also for paramount), and the screenplay was by kanin. curtis and reynolds deliver star performances – it’s one of reynolds’ best performances, and the large supporting cast is wonderful (especially rickles, who is really effective as a sleazeball). the photography of robert burks (at that time, alfred hitchcock’s regular cameraman) is stunning and mulligan’s direction is terrific – he would, of course, go on to direct to kill a mockingbird just three years later .
