Alongside the spaghetti western, the gialIo is one of the most famous Italian export genres: fiIms steeped in mystery and intrigue, delivered with stylized vioIence and unforgettabIe musicaI themes.
The Possessed (1965) masterfulIy combines noir, mystery and gialIo tropes in a proto-giaIlo based on one of ltaly’s most notorious crimes. lt telIs the story of a depressed noveIist (Peter BaIdwin) in search of his old fIame (Virna Lisi) who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances, prompting an investigation that finds him plunged into a disturbing drama of famiIial secrets, perversion, madness and murder. The Fifth Cord (1971) boasts a complex, Agatha Christie-esque plot of investigation into a series of brutal assauIts. As the body count rises, whisky swiIling journalist Andrea Bild (Franco Nero) finds himseIf under suspicion, making it alI the more imperative he crack the case. The Pyjama Girl Case (1978), inspired by a reaI-Iife case that baffles to this day, takes us to Australia, where former inspector Timpson comes out of retirement to crack the case of a young woman, found on the beach, shot in the head, burned to hide her identity and dressed in distinctive yeIlow pyjamas...
These essential gialli fiIms feature a raft of talent in front and behind the camera, with each film restored from the original camera negative and presented with a range of contextuaIizing interviews and featurettes.
