Overview
The Giallo film reinvented as an experimental S&M-tinged fever dream, told through a combination of color-gelled cinematography and jump-cut photographs, infused with dark sensuality and perverse cruelty. The short films of the directors of Amer are technically rawer than that film, but they show what was to come in terms of themes based on giallo films and an abstract style, from the use of still frames like in Chris Marker’s La Jetée to harsh coloured lighting. They are worth seeing by themselves as a refining of their ideas into a fantastic debut feature film.

Viewing Notes
I think I’ve seen this one before on one of their blu-ray releases, AMER perhaps. Watched it on the Strange Gauge set I picked up recently. Really love the blend of still photography and 35mm film. Of course colors and audio are nice. Neat to see their earlier work totally informing their later work.
