THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE // Giallo-ary

dir: Dario Argento - 1970 - 1 hr 39 min

In 1970, Dario Argento (DEEP RED, SUSPIRIA) indelibly redefined the “giallo” genre of M**der-mystery thrillers with THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE—a mind-bending mix of M**der, obsession, and art. A staggeringly assured first feature, this film establishes the key traits that define Argento’s filmography, including lavish visuals and a flare for wildly inventive and brutal scenes of violence. With sumptuous cinematography by Vittorio Storaro (APOCALYPSE NOW) and a seductive Ennio Morricone score, this landmark film has never looked better in this 4K restoration.
