Color Me Blood Red (1965)

I just had a local store open up that rents out obscure movies. I shall plow through all their SWV selections anon!

This one must be a super early DVD release from SWV. There’s no intro, and the menu is low budget with no music. This is a Friedman/Lewis venture though, so you know you already have gold in your hands.

The film opens with an art dealer taking a canvas outside and lighting it on fire. Performance art?

We meet our protagonist, a moody young artist whose work is being shown by a local dealer who couldn’t be more unhappy about it. We’ll skip over how the dealer wanted a canvas shown in a different direction than the artist wanted it.

He lives with his fiancée and two very inefficient water bicycles. The art dealer will randomly stop by to pick up more finished work, and the artist will be very unhappy about this, especially when the dealer comments that his red paintings sell better.

Through a small incident involving his fiancée and a rogue nail, the artist discovers that blood makes the best paint. He goes all Red Violin on a canvas, but instead of the calm and methodical actions of the grieving husband violin maker, he just frantically smears that shit on.

His fiancée nags “If we ever get married” one too many times, and he stabs her in the face. Instead of draining her into a jar or something, he hoists her up and smears her head over the canvas. She’ll be hastily buried in the white Florida sand once she’s of no use to him anymore.

He takes his revolutionary painting to the “gallery” (which is an assembly hall complete with stage but no seats; one of those spaces you expect the local women’s auxiliary to use) for the viewing pleasure of the dealer, the local critic, and a rich collector. He lets them squabble over price before informing them that the painting isn’t for sale. It appears to be very special to him, though he doesn’t explain why.

He promises them another painting, achieved by carving up a young couple that made the mistake of trying to take his inefficient water bicycles, but he refuses to sell this one as well. The “paint” isn’t even dry on it when he shows it, but lack of varnish is they only concern. His first painting was actually pretty cool, but this second one looked like a cheap horror film.

Now, throughout this movie, we’re going to occasionally see a group of four teenagers. Two of them are a couple that frequently dress in matching outfits, including wigs, and we’ll never understand a word they say. The girl of the other couple is the daughter of the collector. They all decide to go to the beach, and they choose the area of the painter’s house. So many people show up here that it’s like he’s never alienated the locals with his behaviour. But then choosing a different beach wouldn’t result in our crazy conclusion.
