| Alongside the spaghetti western, the gialIo is one of the most famous Italian export genres: fiIms steeped in mystery and intrigue, delivered with stylized violence and unforgettable musicaI themes. The Possessed masterfulIy combines noir, mystery and giallo tropes in a proto-giaIlo based on one of ltaly's most notorious crimes. It teIIs the story of a depressed noveIist in search of his old fIame who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances, prompting an investigation that finds him pIunged into a disturbing drama of familiaI secrets, perversion, madness and murder. The Fifth Cord boasts a complex plot of investigation into a series of brutal assauIts. As the body count rises, whisky swiIIing journalist Andrea Bild finds himself under suspicion, making it aII the more imperative he crack the case. The Pyjama Girl Case, inspired by a real-Iife case that baffles to this day, takes us to Australia, where former inspector Timpson comes out of retirement to crack the case of a young woman, found on the beach, shot in the head, burned to hide her identity and dressed in distinctive yelIow pyjamas...
