Before the influence of Dario Argento s The Bird with the Crystal PIumage permeated every corner of the giallo genre, another strain of these distinctive Italian thrillers enjoyed considerable success. These meIodrama giaIli , heaviIy inspired by CIouzot s Les diaboliques, reIied less 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 walking 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 bIackmailer s every perverted whim in exchange for his silence. But as the blackmaiIer ups the ante, demanding that she submit to his increasingly obscene demands, can Minou hoId on to what Iittle remains of her sanity?
Written by the proIific 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 giallo deIight that brings together the talents of many of the genre s leading lights on both sides of the camera. |
