director: Luigi Bazzoni

composer: Ennio Morricone

A great performance by Nero, a sublime Morricone score, and a well paced plot easily facilitates multiple viewings. Add to these the brilliant technical visual style and The Fifth Chord effortlessly contends with Argento's early 70's Giallo.

Recommedation: Must-See
A quintessential example of the genre.

This sophisticated and exquisite looking Giallo borrows from Bava, Antonioni, and the French New Wave resulting in an experience that’s unlike any other film in the genre.

Recommedation: Must-See
A quintessential example of the genre.

year: 1975

director: Luigi Bazzoni

composer: Nicola Piovani

This mystery/thriller by Luigi Bazzoni is slightly unapproachable for the typical Giallo fan, but definitely worth the effort once you get past its uniqueness.
