Although most English speakers associate the term \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e with the violent and erotic thrillers popular in the 1960s and 1970s from directors like Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci and others, the term encompasses a wide range of Italian media such as mysteries, thrillers and detective stories--even comedies and political pamphlets. As films like \u003ci\u003eBlood and Black Lace\u003c\/i\u003e (1964) and \u003ci\u003eDeep Red\u003c\/i\u003e (1975) have received international acclaim, \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e is a fluid and dynamic genre that has evolved throughout the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book examines the many facets of the \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e genre --narrative, style, themes, and influences. It explores Italian films, made-for-TV films and miniseries from the dawn of sound cinema to the present, discussing their impact on society, culture and mores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roberto Curti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476682488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476682488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Roberto Curti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048270065919,"sku":"9781476682488","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39498096-a937-4efd-8a88-5c44bf50b16d.jpg?v=1684994853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-giallo-in-film-and-roberto-curti-9781476682488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
