Giallo is an Italian contribution to the spectrum of genres and perfect material for our midnight section.
A mysterious masked murderer/butcher in red gloves chasing defenceless victims, mostly women, glamorous sets, blood pools redder than red, stylized camera, Morricone’s or Goblins’ music and a little bit of erotica.
You can look forward to both iconic classics and true midnight oddities: Mario Bava’s Six Women For The Murderer, a Kafkaesque giallo film set in Prague during the times of normalization (Aldo Lado’s Short Night of Glass Dolls), Dario Argento’s Tenebrae or the extremes of the bloody classics (Lucio Fulci and Sergio Martino). Last but not least, we will discuss the influence of giallo films on world or contemporary cinema.
