What're We Watching? - 29. Deep Red (Profondo Rosso)

29. Deep Red (Profondo Rosso)

09/01/21 • 66 min

The coats are going deep...and deeper...into Dario Argento's 1975 giallo: "Deep Red". If you know anything about giallo, then you know the significance of Argento's fourth giallo film to the history of the sub-genre. If you don't, then you should stop reading this and watch this film NOW.
Looking back, one can say that "Deep Red" was the turning point for Argento, when he shed his skin and embraced the more supernatural elements that he'd been toying with in the creative process leading up to 1975. After a respite from his animal trilogy, and a brief. sojourn into the italian comedy scene with "The Five Days", Argento returned with a renewed taste for horror and a new music collaborator in the prog rock band Goblin (their first--but not last collaboration), that took the world by storm.

An often overlooked Argento in comparison to the rest of his filmography, his junior feature lays the groundwork for the best that's yet to come. Will the coats be buzzing about this giallo, or will they kick this carcass to the curb?

30. Tenebrae (Unsane)

The coats are climbing up the exterior wall and into the cubist house of the one and only Dario Argento, to cover what we here at Conspicuous Trenchcoats consider the greatest giallo of all time, 1982's: "Tenebrae". Made and released well outside the giallo boom years of the early 70's, "Tenebrae" marked a return to the sub-genre for Argento; following a brief foray into the fantastique world of "Suspiria" and "Inferno". It was initially released in theaters with a lukewarm reception and heavy censorship, but over time has become a favorite of fans and critics alike.
