Beginning with Mario Bavas' The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) and Dario Argento's The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), giallo films influenced the American slasher films of the 1980s and attracted an increasingly large fandom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Bloodstained Narratives: The Giallo Film in Italy and Abroad, contributors explore understudied aspects of gialli. The chapters introduce readers to a wide range of films, including masterpieces from Argento and overlooked gems, all of them examined in close detail. Rather than understanding giallo as focalized exclusively in Italy in the 1970s, this collection explores the extension of gialli narratives abroad through different geographies and times. This book examines Italian gialli of the 1970s as well as American neo-gialli, French productions, Canadian horror films of the 1980s, and Asian rewritings of this yellow cycle of crime\/horror films. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBloodstained Narratives also features interviews with two giallo film directors, including cult favorite Antonio Bido. Rather than fading from the cinematic stage, gialli serves as a precursor and steady accomplice to horror-thriller films through the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 272g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781496844453\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44864047579386,"sku":"9781496844453","price":83.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1702052489838_book.jpg?v=1702100738","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/bloodstained-narratives-the-giallo-film-in-italy-and-abroad-9781496844453","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
