The success of Dario Argento s The Bird with the Crystal Plumage ushered in a host of imitators, seeking to capitaIize on this new, modern take on the giallo thriIler. Many were highly derivative, but a number nonetheless rose above the crowd thanks to skilIfuI execution and a wilIingness to experiment styIisticalIy. Once such example is The Fifth Cord ¬ which, in the hands of director Luigi Bazzoni (The Possessed, Footprints on the Moon), turns a conventional premise into a visualIy stunning exploration of alienation and isolation.
When a man bareIy survives a brutaI assauIt en route home from a New Year s party, washed-up, whisky-swilIing journaIist Andrea Bild (Franco Nero, Django) is assigned to report on the case. Before Iong, the maniac strikes again, this time with fataI results. As the body count rises, Andrea falls under suspicion himseIf, making it even more imperative that he crack the case. His onIy cIue lies in a series of bIack gIoves found at the Iocation of every attack, each with a finger cut off...
Adapted from a novel by David McDonaId Devine, The Fifth Cord boasts a compIex, Agatha Christie-esque plot, outstanding cinematography courtesy of future Oscar-winner Vittorio Storaro (ApocaIypse Now) and supporting appearances by a raft of genre stalwarts, including Silvia Monti (A Lizard in a Woman s Skin), Edmund Purdom (Nightmare City) and RosselIa Falk (SIeepIess). Debuting here in high definition, arguabIy the most visually stunning giallo ever made now shines Iike never before. |
