With the return of "Red Princess Blues," director Alex Ferrari seems to
be calling to arms that of Hollywood to fully realize his vision of this
epic action adventure about a mysterious woman with no name called
Princess who can seemingly act as an avenger of a sorts who rights all
of the wrongs ever committed toward her. Gradually being fleshed out as
a pitch for a feature film, Alex Ferrari really deserves to have his
concept be explored with rich characterization and balls to the walls
action as Red Princess is a character capable of being rather iconic.
Filled with the right dose of whimsy along with a grindhouse edge, "Red
Princess Blues" is a short look in to the world of Red Princess, a woman
who appears to help young women in times of great danger and is not
afraid to kick some ass in the process.

Narrated by the legendary Robert
Forster, "Red Princess Blues" sets down on a seemingly crime
infested wasteland where the criminals prey on the innocent.
Ferrari sets down on Zoe, a wide eyed carnival goer lured in
to a tent with the performers by the sleazy Rimo, a
perverted carnie who takes a liking to Zoe and is intent on
keeping her with the group for fun and games. Richard Tyson
is a scene stealer as the slimy Rimo who has devious plans
for Zoe until the mysterious Princess intervenes and
attempts to save her. |

Filled with a rather fantastic direction and some awfully incredible
CGI that make up the world of Princess and her carnival, Ferrari
manages to flesh out an interesting and exciting world where
Princess resides in with some wonderful editing and seamless
computer animation added to enhance rather than serve as a crutch.
Rachel Grant is smoking and sultry as the heroine Princess who takes
it upon herself to save the naive Zoe from the perverted carnival
folk and is kept in the dark in regards to her full origin and
purpose. Ferrari is of course no stranger to creating rich strong
feminine characters and Princess is no exception as she fascinates
while impresses with her wicked martial arts and clever one-liners.
Ultimately, "Red Princess Blues" is another chapter in Princess'
crusade to fight evil while Ferrari continues to impress visually
with the Numb Robot/Enigma Factory team at his disposal. I'd love to
see "Red Princess Blues" turned in to a full length film someday,
and I think Princess can be an admirable heroine for action buffs.
Alex
Ferrari continues his delving in to the strong female persona with "Red
Princess Blues" another chapter in his ongoing mission to fully realize
the potentially iconic Princess for action audiences of all kinds. I
highly recommend delving in to the world he's set for indie film fans.
And more Rachel Grant, please.
