1976’s “The Double Exposure of Holly” is an odd offering of adult entertainment. It’s not the usual collection of heated encounters, but something of a revenge story featuring an assortment of confused people attempting to make sense out of overwhelming feelings and misplaced passions. There’s some narrative momentum to the endeavor during the first act, but director Bob Gill slowly graduates to more experimental-style filmmaking, inserting some abstract adventures and bizarre relationships into what initially appears to be a straightforward study of blackmail.
The AVC encoded image (1.37:1 aspect ratio) presentation offers a 2K scan of the original 35mm negative. The results offer a clear look into the frame particulars, especially with various bodies on display, securing skin textures and fine hairs. Costuming remains fibrous with period fashion. Decorative additions and tech displays are also defined. Color is alert, exploring bright primaries with hotel layouts and clothing choices. Skin tones are exact. Delineation is satisfactory. Grain is fine and film-like. Source is in good condition.
The 2.0 DTS-HD MA mix preserves dialogue exchanges, which remain clear throughout the listening event, detailing different performance choices. Scoring supports as expected, with acceptable definition and mood support.
"The Double Exposure of Holly" isn't committed to an overall plot, paying only occasional attention to the blackmail scheme. It creates more of a random viewing experience, but one with periodic directorial inspiration and an intriguing dark side, which is a rare event in adult entertainment. Sexuality isn't especially active, but Gill maintains some bedroom encounters, fulfilling audience expectations while also giving them a peculiar understanding of corrupt characters.
