There's a lot that can be said about Solange. While murder is never a light-hearted subject, many Gialli exploit the absurd aspects of the genre to prevent their storylines from becoming too cerebral. Solange is not one of those Gialli. Instead, Massimo Dallamano delivers a film with complex characters and a storyline that is controversial even by today's standards.

In addition to the well-paced and intricate whodunit narrative, Solange showcases a compelling relationship arc between Enrico and Herta Rosseni as well as startlingly somber subtext of innocence lost and the rejection of Catholic moral values.

As far as the score is concerned, Solange performed well there too. But the film is 9 points short of a perfect score due to the following:

• The film takes place in London, which no doubt contributes to its unique look, but doesn't garner any points on the score.
  
  
• The killer acts alone. Although one point of view would be to identify Solange herself as an accomplice, but that's a bit far reaching. She's not really in her right mind, and eventually leads Herta Rosseni to the crime scene.
  
  
• The wrong man is never apprehended long enough for the killer strike again while everyone's guard is down. Enrico is arrested for the death of Elizabeth, but the police never really declare that the murderer has been captured.

These 9 points really don't matter beyond the scope of the Giallo Score experiment. Solange easily ranks in the top 5 of the best Gialli of all time and could easily be remade into a mainstream blockbuster. I sure hope that never happens.
