Product Description

THE AMERICAN PREMIERE OF THE INFAMOUS 'LOST' ARGENTO FILM WITH NEW SPECIAL FEATURES SOUNDTRACK CDAfter FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET, Dario Argento stepped away from giallo to create what remains the only non-horror/thriller - and least-seen film - of his career: Set during 1848's five-day siege of Milan by the Austrian army, a cynical thief (pop star Adriano Celentano) teams with a naïve young baker (Enzo Cerusico of THE DEAD ARE ALIVE!) to survive the brutality and absurdity of the Italian Revolution. Marilù Tolo (THE SCORPION WITH TWO TALES), Glauco Onorato (BLACK SABBATH) and Salvatore Baccaro (aka 'Sal Boris' of THE BEAST IN HEAT) co-star in this dark action-comedy that reflected turbulent '70s Italy and Argento's own politics, from a story co-written by Enzo Ungari (THE LAST EMPEROR) and Luigi Cozzi (PAGANINI HORROR) with a rousing score by Giorgio Gaslini (DEEP RED), now scanned in 4K from the original negative with over 4½ hours of all-new Special Features.

Review

Excessive in virtually every sense... Its exuberant visual style paves the way for the insane sensory experience which would emerge from DEEP RED. --Art of Darkness: The Cinema of Dario Argento

A fascinating and often impressive film... Never released on American DVD, the film looks wonderful on the Severin edition. --Mondo Digital

A real departure for the horror maestro... Argento feared that the giallo genre was finished following his Three Animals Trilogy, leading to this brave feature. --Taste of Cinema
