Description
The Italian Giallo: A Genre in Decline The giallo, a style of Italian thriller known for its stylish excesses, emerged in the 1960s with films like Mario Bava's THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. However, by the early 1970s, the genre's popularity had begun to wane, despite the efforts of directors like Dario Argento to keep it alive. This volume, the second in a series, explores the decline of the giallo from 1974 to 2013. Author Troy Howarth examines the genre's gradual decline, highlighting some late-period entries that are worthy of serious consideration. He also provides an overview of the giallo's place in the Italian film scene, drawing on insights from Italian writer and filmmaker Luigi Cozzi. The book is lavishly illustrated with colorful stills, posters, and advertising art, making it a valuable resource for film enthusiasts and scholars. By examining the giallo's decline and its eventual disappearance from the mainstream, SO DEADLY, SO Perverse: 50 YEARS OF ITALIAN GIALLO FILMS VOLUME TWO offers a fascinating look at the evolution of Italian cinema.
