AMER

PREVIEW - A huge hit at FrightFest Glasgow earlier this year we are showing AMER in London for those who couldn’t see this artful masterpiece then or can’t wait to see it again. For gialli fans will absolutely not want to miss co-directors Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s immaculately executed flawless valentine to the 70s thriller genre popularized by Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci. Recreating the motifs, clichés and visual codes from the vintage Italian back catalogue (including A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN, SUSPIRIA and BLACK SABBATH), the Belgian-based duo unfold a virtually dialogue free tale of frightening obsession, sexual sensation and stunning black-gloved murder as the three faces of fear throughout an enigmatic woman’s life unfold in dazzling style. Scored to recycled Italian soundtrack selections in the grand Tarantino tradition, the hypnotic and ethereal allure of the classic gialli lives again in this boldly imaginative cult phenomenon.
