Giallo Retrospective

Five films. Legendary directors. One unforgettable plunge into the dark heart of cinema.From shadow-drenched alleys to crimson splashes on silk sheets, Giallo is where style meets shock. Born from Italy’s yellow-jacketed crime paperbacks, these thrillers seduce with beauty before striking with brutality. Giallo films blend mystery, vivid style, and unsettling imagery – not for the faint of heart.

ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK (Tutti i colori del buio)
Director: Sergio Martino

Sergio Martino’s surreal film follows a traumatised woman who is drawn into the occult. Staring Edwige Fenech and featuring a Bruno Nicolai score, it’s a hypnotic, nightmarish classic that still packs a punch. Unlike more straightforward murder mysteries, All the Colours of the Dark leans heavily into surrealism and paranoia, making it one of the more unique gialli of the 1970s.  Today, it is regarded as a cult classic and one of Sergio Martino’s finest works.

Screening Sunday October 12 at Luna Leederville at 8:10pm.
