Giallo (Argento, 2009)
Couldn't find a previous thread on this one. Official logline and synopsis from Bloody-Disgusting. NOTE: There are spoilers in the detailed synopsis, so I used a spoiler tag for that section.
This evening we received the official logline and long synopsis for Dario Argento's latest, Giallo, which completed principal photography this past June. Starring Elsa Pataky, Adrien Brody and Emmanuelle Seigner, and written by Sean Keller and Jim Agnew, the film begins in Italy, an American woman fears her sister may have been kidnapped. Inspector Enzo Lavia fears it’s worse. They team up to rescue her from a sadistic killer known only as Yellow. YELLOW chooses his victims based on their beauty, because he himself is not beautiful. Scorned and rejected in the orphanage where he was raised as a child, he now hunts beautiful women to torture and to kill. He keeps them alive, mentally and physically abusing them, until he grows bored. Then, he kills them and discards their body. He’s efficient, and always has his next victim ready to torture. And he’s clever, only going after tourists, women who won’t find an advocate in the police department. Spoiler:
“Giallo” updates great Giallo horror film of Dario Argento, directed by the creator of the genre, that also calls to mind the classic serial killer films such as “Silence of the Lambs” and “Seven”. Featuring a hero and a heroine facing down pure evil, “Giallo” is a new classic by a master of suspense. |
Sounds promising. Hopefully better than Mother of Tears.
Brody looks super Italian in that first picture. |

In his own house. Fortunately, Asia Argento has bowed out of this one due to pregnancy.

Here's the trailer (a little blood might not be safe for work) , this looks pretty good:

the trailer for MOTHER OF TEARS looked great and that didn't turn out so well so i'm not going to get my hopes up but i am excited about it.
|
Interesting trailer.
Am I the only one here who enjoyed "Mother Of Tears"? :) |
Re: Giallo (Argento, 2009)
FX man Sergio Stivaletti speaks to Fangoria about the film:
“[GIALLO star] Adrien Brody has been very involved with the movie and built up a close working relationship with Dario,” Stivaletti (pictured) tells us. “I think this is one of Dario’s strongest and most impressive films. He and Adrien collaborated on making the movie as believable as possible, and of course, fans can expect some bloody violence. This is an American movie—it is financed from the U.S. and it looks like a Hollywood picture, but it is still impossible not to see Dario’s touch in almost every scene.” |

It wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, Not Argento's best work tho.... Then again it was ALOT better than The Card Player & Do you like Hitchcock? |
Re: Giallo (Argento, 2009)
I enjoyed Mother of Tears, but it was not even close to Inferno (which I feel is Argento's weakest work from that era).
This is also coming from someone who liked The Card Player, but Sleepless is the best of his recent efforts (2000 and onward). |
Re: Giallo (Argento, 2009)
Inferno was great....

Re: Giallo (Argento, 2009)
I hope this is as good as The Stendhal Syndrome which I consider to be his last great film.

Re: Giallo (Argento, 2009)
From Variety's pan:
After the mixed reception, even from fans, for "The Mother of Tears," Italian schlock-maestro Dario Argento shows further indifference to his reputation by releasing his latest, "Giallo," under his own name. Ludicrous, craptastically made even by Argento's usual low-budget standards, and not even remotely scary or amusingly campy -- unlike its predecessor, which at least has a so-bad-it's-great following -- this serial-killer story plays like a work for hire that no one had much fun working on. |
Re: Giallo (Argento, 2009)
are we ever gonna see this?
Whats the release situation? |
Re: Giallo (Argento, 2009)
That's a harsh review.
