ITALIAN: giallo... ‡
ITALIAN: Basta... Metterci
una giallo... ‡‡
‡)
Lit., “yellow” or “yellow book.” Orig., in ref. to crime & noir fiction, called “giallo” because of their lurid canary yellow paperback
covers. In the mid-to-late 1960s “giallo” mainly
became associated with Italian movies, specifically
gory psycho-sexual thrillers, police
procedurals, & apocalypso horror
genre films (or mashups thereof) by such directors as Mario Bava & Dario
Argento (& they really mastered their cinematical shite
in terms of shadows & light,
sight & sound,
& cutting &
cutting, &
gouging & impaling
& shooting &
strangling & defenestrating , & had a major influence on filmmakers
from Jean-Luc Godard (esp. Weekend) to John Carpenter, George Romero, Wes
Craven, Robert Rodriguez &
Quentin Tarantino.
‡‡) “Enough
already. Cut the crap. And put a crappy giallo
paperback on it...
