- Summary:
- Mario Bava's 'Blood and Black Lace' (1964) is a legendary title, and is commonly considered as the archetypal giallo. A murder mystery about a faceless and menacing killer stalking the premises of a luxurious fashion house in Rome, 'Blood and Black Lace' set the rules for the genre: a masked, black-gloved killer, an emphasis on graphic violence, elaborate and suspenseful murder sequences. But 'Blood and Black Lace' is first and foremost an exquisitely stylish film, full of gorgeous colour schemes, elegant camerawork, and surrealistic imagery, testimony of Bava's mastery and his status as an innovator within popular cinema. This book recollects the film's production history, putting it within the context of the Italian film industry of the period and includes plenty of previously unheard-of data.
