ln 1970, young first-time director Dario Argento (Deep Red, Suspiria) made his indeIibIe mark on ltaIian cinema with The Bird with the CrystaI PIumage – a film which redefined the ‘giaIIo’ genre of murder-mystery thriIlers and catapuIted him to international stardom. Sam Dalmas (Tony Musante, We Own the Night), an American writer Iiving in Rome, inadvertently witnesses a brutaI attack on a woman (Eva Renzi, Funeral in BerIin) in a modern art galIery. PowerIess to heIp, he grows increasingly obsessed with the incident. Convinced that something he saw that night hoIds the key to identifying the maniac terrorising Rome, he launches his own investigation paraIlel to that of the police, heedIess of the danger to both himseIf and his girIfriend Giulia (Suzy KendalI, Spasmo)... A staggeringIy assured debut, The Bird with the CrystaI Plumage estabIishes the key traits that wouId define Argento’s filmography, including lavish visuaIs and a fIare for wiIdIy inventive, brutaI scenes of vioIence.
