Currently available on Tuvi, this documentary directed by Federico Caddeo is a top-level overview of Italian giallo (what else?) films which primarily focuses on Mario Bava (The Girl Who Know Too Much, Blood and Black Lace and A Bay of Blood), Dario Argento (The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, The Cat o' Nine Tails, Four Flies on Grey Velvet, Deep Red, Tenebrae and Giallo), Lucio Fulci (One on Top of the Other, A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, Don't Torture a Duckling and The Psychic), Umberto Lenzi (So Sweet...So Perverse, Orgasmo, Paranoia, Knife of Ice, Spasmo and Eyeball) and Sergio Martino (The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key and All the Colors of the Dark). But also includes references to other directors (Aldo Lado (The Short Night of the Glass Dolls and Who Saw Her Die?), Giuliano Carmimeo (The Case of the Bloody Iris), Duccio Tessari (Death Occurred Last Night and The Bloodstained Butterfly) and Luciano Ercoli (Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, Death Walks on High Heels and Death Walks at Midnight)).
Fairly talkative (or, in my case, readative (is that a word?) since it is in Italian with English subtitles) as it is mostly narrated by a historian. But it does include interviews (some archived, most not) with many of the aforementioned names plus various screenwriters and actors (Barbara Bouchet, Edwige Fenech, George Hilton, Nieves Navarro and Daria Nicolodi). But still fairly interesting and would serve as an ideal introduction (albeit with some spoilers) to someone new to this genre or, in my case, an ideal reintroduction to someone who hasn't really watched any of these movies since the 1970s. And definitely provides one with a nice list of what movies to start with.
