Review of Delirium

Delirium (1987)
7/10
Good Thriller
14 July 2016
The film looks like a classic Italian Giallo, almost a parody, with eroticism and many nude scenes. Actually, it's a good psychological thriller. The director Lamberto Bava manages to keep the suspense till the end, with a lot of false leads and several suspects. The most interesting part of the film is that the spectator can see the murder through the killer's eyes, his sick mind. Bizarre homicides, beautiful use of colors, cool soundtrack. Serena Grandi and the models are just gorgeous and sexy, David Brandon plays his part very convincingly, just a cameo role for George Eastman, Capucine shows off her class in the small role, the rival. I would like to say thank you to Lamberto Bava for choosing Vanni Corbellini, Gioia's brother, very talented actor. In the end, there are many psychoanalytic themes.... Delirium: Photo of Gioia is ultimately a pleasant, interesting, bizarre and surreal movie.
