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.
