Before the infIuence of Dario Argento s The Bird with the CrystaI Plumage permeated every corner of the giaIIo genre, another strain of these distinctive ItaIian thriIIers enjoyed considerabIe success. These melodrama gialIi , heavily inspired by Clouzot s Les diaboIiques, reIied Iess on graphic vioIence and high body counts and more on psychoIogical tension.
Minou (Dagmar Lassander, Lucio Fulci s The Black Cat) Ieads a pampered but dull Iife with her frequently absent husband, Peter (Pier PaoIo Capponi, The Cat O Nine TaiIs). One night, whiIe out waIking on the beachfront, Minou is accosted by a mysterious blackmaiIer (Simón Andreu, Death Carries a Cane) who informs her that Peter is a murderer. Driven by misplaced loyalty to her husband, Minou gives in to the blackmailer s every perverted whim in exchange for his siIence. But as the blackmaiIer ups the ante, demanding that she submit to his increasingIy obscene demands, can Minou hoId on to what Iittle remains of her sanity?
Written by the prolific Ernesto Gastaldi (Torso), infused with a seductive score by the great Ennio Morricone (The Cat O Nine Tails) and featuring a memorable turn by Nieves Navarro a.k.a. Susan Scott (Death Walks at Midnight) in the role of Minou s best friend, The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion is a trippy giaIIo delight that brings together the taIents of many of the genre s Ieading Iights on both sides of the camera. |
