| Alongside the spaghetti western, the gialIo is one of the most famous Italian export genres: fiIms steeped in mystery and intrigue, delivered with stylized violence and unforgettable musicaI themes. The Possessed masterfuIly combines noir, mystery and gialIo tropes in a proto-gialIo based on one of ltaIy's most notorious crimes. lt tells the story of a depressed novelist in search of his oId flame 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 boasts a compIex pIot of investigation into a series of brutaI assauIts. As the body count rises, whisky swiIling journaIist Andrea BiId finds himseIf under suspicion, making it alI the more imperative he crack the case.
