Love is a twisted and sick thing, at least that's what I thought after watching "Deep Crimson". But what exactly was "Deep Crimson" portraying? Was it passionate love or a web of obsession between two insecure people who just so happened to collaborate and form a dynamic duo of insanity. I cant say that I found this movie to be humorous, but fascinating to say the least. With Coral referring to herself as "the fatty" after her daughter calls her overweight and Nico calling himself "a monster" after losing his toupee, they mirror one another. I seemed to correlate the mirrors in the film with the mirroring effect between the two main characters, Nico and Coral. As much as they were different, they were exactly alike, they both had an insatiable hunger for love and attention, they each had their insecurities neither of them could over come, no matter how much one complimented the other, and of course they both had the ability to manipulate the innocent people they preyed on. Between Corals jealousy and Nico's dependency on the woman who loves him (Coral) the film turned out to be a roller-coaster ride of excitement, passion and horror. The mirrors in the film showed who they really were, fat and bald, but they had each other. Two people who believed they deserved no one or nothing, found each other and there is no other way this film could have ended but with them both dying, because like Nico said to Coral in the film "how did I ever live without you?".
