BODY PUZZLE

Cinemavixion Review

Lamberto Bava's "Body Puzzle" (1992) is a perplexing thriller that attempts to weave a narrative of mystery and suspense, though its execution often leaves audiences more puzzled than enthralled. Starring Joanna Pacula, Tomas Arana, and François Montagut, the film delves into a grim investigation where a police officer uncovers disturbing truths amidst a series of murders. While the film is set in Italy and directed by Bava, who also co-wrote the screenplay, it garnered a modest reception, reflected in its IMDb rating of 5.3/10 and a single award nomination. Despite its shortcomings, "Body Puzzle" offers a glimpse into the Italian thriller genre of the early 90s, with moments that might intrigue fans of atmospheric, albeit sometimes convoluted, mystery plots.
