Beginning with Mario Bava’s \u003ci\u003eThe Girl Who Knew Too Much \u003c\/i\u003e(1963) and Dario Argento’s \u003ci\u003eThe Bird with the Crystal Plumage \u003c\/i\u003e(1970),\u003ci\u003e giallo\u003c\/i\u003e films influenced the American slasher films of the 1980s and attracted an increasingly large fandom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBloodstained Narratives: The \u003c\/i\u003eGiallo \u003ci\u003eFilm in Italy and Abroad\u003c\/i\u003e, contributors explore understudied aspects of \u003ci\u003egialli\u003c\/i\u003e. The chapters introduce readers to a wide range of films, including masterpieces from Argento and overlooked gems, all of them examined in close detail. Rather than understanding \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e as focalized exclusively in Italy in the 1970s, this collection explores the extension of  \u003ci\u003egialli\u003c\/i\u003e narratives abroad through different geographies and times. This book examines Italian \u003ci\u003egialli\u003c\/i\u003e of the 1970s as well as American neo-\u003ci\u003egialli\u003c\/i\u003e, French productions, Canadian horror films of the 1980s, and Asian rewritings of this \"yellow\" cycle of crime\/horror films. \u003ci\u003eBloodstained Narratives\u003c\/i\u003e also features interviews with two \u003ci\u003egiallo \u003c\/i\u003efilm directors, including cult favorite Antonio Bido. Rather than fading from the cinematic stage, \u003ci\u003egialli \u003c\/i\u003eserves as a precursor and steady accomplice to horror-thriller films through the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55262518739318,"sku":"9781496844460","price":24.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28542696.jpg?v=1739456355","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781496844460-bloodstained-narratives","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
