The Bird with the
Crystal Plumage (1970)
Directed by Dario
Argento this film based on the novel “The Screaming Mimi” stars
Tony Mustante and Suzy Kendall. A down on his luck American writer in
Rome gets embroiled in the the hunt for a serial killer.
When it comes to the
plot this is a fairly average story that does not have a huge amount
of thematic depth really. Where this film really shines is in the
direction that is both tense and captures violence in a way not
really seen before in cinema. It is a bit of a shame that the script
is not a little stronger but this is well worth a watch and you can
see why it inspired so many imitations.
4/5
