Giallo Fever!
September 24th, 2012 by chocko
It’s hard to believe that the Giallo genre has not received its own showcase in NYC, but it’s here now and 10 Italian thrillers from the late 60’s and 70’s are being screened until September 30 at the Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Ave, NYC). Malastrana Film Series and Anthology Film Archives have curated an excellent series of films shown in glorious 35mm that needs to be experienced in a movie theatre with a roomful of fans of this overlooked genre of movies. You want to see psycho-killers in leather gloves, gorgeous women, bloody stabbings, soundtracks by the likes of Ennio Morricone and Goblin? Come on down to Anthology Film Archives for some of the best films by Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci. Check out the Giallo Fever teaser below!
Tony Musante, star of Dario Argento’s Bird With Crystal Plumage made an appearance last week at opening night of the festival. He introduced the film about an American writer who witnesses a beautiful woman stabbed by a mysterious figure in a dark raincoat and leather gloves. Musante’s character obsesses over the bloody attack and gets involved in solving the mystery only to become the killer’s next target. Check out the fun and informative Q&A following last week’s screening below.
