A monstrous killer stalks the streets of Milan, kidnapping, torturing and murdering beautiful women. An unorthodox police inspector (Adrien Brody) works against the clock to find him, before the latest missing girl becomes his next disfigured victim. Dario Argento, the king of 'Giallo' filmmaking, returns with customary chilling flair. Named after the yellow cover art of the Italian crime novels that inspired the genre, 'Giallo' ('Yellow') films are disturbing psychological thrillers, distinguished by trademark characteristics such as ultra-stylish photography, elaborate murder sequences, graphic violence, nudity, and offbeat, atmospheric scores. The 'Giallo' movement exploded in the 1970s, bearing influential work by directors such as Mario Bava (who pioneered the genre in the early 60s) Lucio Fulci, and of course, Argento. Having already worked extensively as a screenwriter – collaborating with Sergio Leone and Bernardo Bertolucci on Once Upon a Time in the West, and co-writing cult spaghetti western The Five Man Army – 1969's Bird with the Crystal Plumage saw Argento enter the 'Giallo' arena with the first of his memorable Animal Trilogy, all featuring essential scores by Ennio Morricone. Completing that cycle with Cat O’ Nine Tales, and Four Flies on Grey Velvet, he then delivered the two films commonly regarded as his masterpieces: Deep Red (possibly the definitive example of a 'Giallo') and Suspiria, both featuring integral scores by progressive rock band Goblin. Giallo – named after both the genre and the deranged killer who features in the film – finds Argento harking back to those cult classics, spinning a dark, stylishly fractured web of fear, revolving around a heavyweight performance by Oscar®-winner Brody. Investing his character with a troubled, enigmatic charm, Brody (who also co-produced) is outstanding as the downbeat hero, unravelling the complex puzzle of his own distorted psyche, whilst relentlessly pursuing the maniacal 'Giallo' (a terrifying Byron Deirdra). As Brody pieces together the jagged, bloody shards of Argento’s house of shattered mirrors, revealing an utterly fascinating twist, it’s triumphantly clear that time has not diminished this iconic director’s abilities.
