To dig into what we love about this movie we do away with
the idea of a linear discussion of the plot and just hop around talking about
random scenes and sequences. We assume that the podcast audience is familiar
with the film and plunge forward pulling apart our favorite elements and
puzzling over the odd things that make this giallo such a strange and wonderful
experience. That means there are certainly spoilers, so be aware! We discuss
the madness induced by repressed sexual desires as well as the perceived age
problem between the killer and the focus of his obsession. We spend a good deal
of time on the fascinating possibility that Argento rotates his narrative
inside the head of his main character much sooner than usually imagined. We
debate the sanity of the central figure of the film for probably too long and
then devolve into relating our individual favorite three Argento efforts. As
you can tell, we swing all over the place in this one!
If you have any comments or just want to give us your own
list of favorite Argento movies the show's email address is
thebloodypit@gmail.com where we will be glad to hear what you have to say. I
cap the episode with an old Hoodoo Guru's song but stick around afterwards for
some bonus complaining from me about Argento's Dracula film. Ugh! And, as
always, thank you for listening to the show.
