Guillermo del Toro is one of those people who in spite of the fact that I’ve never even met him, I feel like I know him. His social media posts and public profile paint him as a such a warm and engaging presence. And his vast knowledge of cinema makes him a trusted resource whose input I’m always keen to take in.
Speaking of del Toro’s social media posts, I recently happened upon a Tweet from some time ago where the Crimson Peak director championed an overlooked crime thriller from the ‘70s. The picture in question is Revolver (1973).
Del Toro’s endorsement reads: “Movie: Revolver by Sergio Solima. Simple premise, complex characters. Moral grey world. Morricone’s fab score is similar to The Untouchables”.
Where is Revolver available to stream?
With an enthusiastic recommendation like that, you’re probably keen to track down Revolver and experience the film for yourself.

[This October is "Gialloween" on Daily Dead, as we celebrate the Halloween season by diving into the macabre mysteries, creepy kills, and eccentric characters found in some of our favorite giallo films! Keep checking back on Daily Dead this month for more retrospectives on classic, cult, and altogether unforgettable gialli, and visit our online hub to catch up on all of our Gialloween special features!]
“I’m mad, don’t forget it.”
Rossano Brazzi’s Psychout for Murder feels like an off choice to be writing about for Gialloween. While the marketing of this classic ’60s Italian thriller wants you to expect a piece of giallo, it feels incredibly different and unique in many ways. It can’t be characterized as a murder mystery of gruesome horrors. It’s not suspenseful or shocking even. There is murder, but the way these crimes are executed is much more satisfying and clever than a knife in hand could create. There are no slit throats, no gushes of blood, no one hung bloodied from a ceiling. It’s a psychological thriller of social significance, a symbol of the Swinging Sixties and women’s liberation.
The viewer is greeted with a sensual, sexy opening. A beautiful woman’s features are accentuated as she traces her hand across her lover’s body.

Fists in the Pocket
Blu ray
Criterion
1965/ 1.85:1 / 108 min.
Starring Lou Castel, Paola Pitagora
Cinematography by Alberto Marrama
Directed by Marco Bellochio
The split-personality of world cinema was never more evident than in 1965 when Fists in the Pockets and Repulsion debuted alongside The Sound of Music and That Darn Cat. All four films dealt with fantasies of family life but only one suggested smashing the institution altogether. And that film was That Darn Cat (“sarcasm font”).
Hailed as one of the most audacious debuts in film history, director Marco Bellochio’s Fists in the Pocket premiered that summer at the Locarno Film Festival. Both Time and Newsweek raved and even Life Magazine, America’s favorite coffee table prop, confessed they were “stunned but exhilarated.” The movie received a more predictable reception from the usual suspects – The Christian Democrat Party called for its expulsion from the public eye.
