Sean Woodard The giallo (yellow) film cycle, characterized by its
bloody murders and blending of high art and cinematic sleaze, rose
to prominence in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. Beginning with Mario
Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) and Dario Argento's The
Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), giallo films influenced the
American slasher films of the 1980s and attracted an increasingly
large fandom. In Bloodstained Narratives: The Giallo Film in Italy
and Abroad, contributors explore understudied aspects of gialli.
The chapters introduce readers to a wide range of films, including
masterpieces from Argento and overlooked gems, all of them examined
in close detail. Rather than understanding giallo as focalized
exclusively in Italy in the 1970s, this collection explores the
extension of gialli narratives abroad through different geographies
and times. This book examines Italian gialli of the 1970s as well
as American neo-gialli, French productions, Canadian horror films
of the 1980s, and Asian rewritings of this "yellow" cycle of
crime/horror films. Bloodstained Narratives also features
interviews with two giallo film directors, including cult favorite
Antonio Bido. Rather than fading from the cinematic stage, gialli
serves as a precursor and steady accomplice to horror-thriller
films through the twenty-first century.
