Dario Argento in 4K — that sounds like a good idea, especially for his more visually jolting giallos. Arrayed in garish reds and blacks, this blood-soaked mystery shocker emphasizes exotic murders — stabbings, scaldings, lacerations from broken glass. David Hemmings is again the investigator, digging into evidence sourced not in photographic details, but the hidden artwork of a disturbed child. Techniscope images by Luigi Kuveiller and music by Goblin, with abbondante gore orchestrated by Signor Argento at the top of his form.

Dario Argento’s Deep Red is a strange little film. Widely considered the director’s masterpiece, a view that I personally share as a big fan of Argento, Deep Red is at times brilliant, at times confusing, but never less than a joy to watch in terms of cinematic originality.
The plot revolves around a British jazz pianist (David Hemmings) living in Rome who witnesses the brutal murder of a renowned psychic (Macha Meril). Haunted by the feeling that he may have seen something crucial to help with the identification of the killer, he begins an investigation of his own, aided by flirty reporter Gianna Brezzi (Daria Nicolodi), and a friend of the victim, Giordani (Glauco Mauri).
Like many of Argento’s films, Deep Red can be accused of being style over substance, but the overall effect is a complex, at times hypnotic, experience that draws the viewer in and...

If you were asked to recommend a good Giallo film, chances are you’d look to one of Dario Argento’s films as a good start. Arrow’s release of the 4k remaster of Deep Red is a new box set that is not only one of the best Giallos from the director, but also one of Arrow Video’s best releases in recent months.
When Marcus Daly (David Hemmings) witnesses the murder of one of his neighbours as he stands in the street below, he rushes to her aid. Unable to save the woman he looks for clues as to who the murderer is. The only thing he can remember is a painting that seems to be missing from the woman’s apartment.

As a black comedy about a two-faced politician, China Is Near, co-writer/director Marco Bellocchio's scathing 1967 bedroom farce, effectively predicted the real-life disintegration of Italy's unsustainably hypertrophic Socialist party during the 1968 general elections. But today the film feels only superficially about Italy in the Sixties. China Is Near's hysterically cynical plot could easily take place anywhere there's a surplus of social-climbers. The story is a series of nakedly self-serving betrayals: Lovers Giovanna (Daniela Surina) and Carlo (Paolo Graziosi) sleep with, respectively, wannabe councilman Vittorio (Glauco Mauri) and his wife, Elena (Elda Tattoli), in order to secure money and power for themselves. Camillo (Pierluigi Aprà), a co...
