“The Strangler” is a strange, seductive film that paved the way for many to follow, yet never received a U.S. theatrical release…until now.
With Black Christmas’ blend of sadism, camp and scantily clad women, the film finds the pulse of the American slasher.
Shawn Glinis continues his video dispatches with There’s Always Tomorrow, An Ideal Place to Kill, Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema IV and Distant Journey.
In Suspiria, Argento’s use of space, lighting, vivid colors, grandiose set pieces, and Goblin’s score create a masterclass in suspense and subliminal terror.
From the biting neorealism of Visconti and De Sica to the gory giallo of Argento, the storied history of Italian cinema is truly compelling.
