Movie Reviews of Silent Night, Bloody Night
Movie Review: Silent Night, Bloody Night, A Chapter in A Homosexual Odyssey
Summary: 5 Stars
Parts of New York have tried to be very Greek. A groupie of Andy Warhol, a 60s pop artist based in New York and a patron of the rock star, Lou Reed, was a transvestite who called himself Ondine. (Ondine comes from the name of the sprite of fresh water streams in German mythology).
In "Silent Night, Bloody Night" with Mary Waranov (another Warhol groupie), Ondine gouges the eyes out of a doctor in 1935 for "abusing" psychiatric patients, presumably homosexuals, since they became persecuted in around 1935. It is very "Odyssey"-like. In the "Oddyssey", Odysseus gouges the eye out of cyclops with a wood spike.
It is worth noting that there is nothing pro-transvestite about Giraudoux's "Ondine" play. Perhaps "Silent Night Bloody Night" is anti-French as well. That would explain the similarity of this movie with Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca".
