Although most English speakers associate the term "giallo" 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 mysteries, thrillers and detective stories, from comedies to political pamphlets. As films like Blood and Black Lace (1964) and Deep Red (1975) have received international acclaim, giallo is a fluid and dynamic genre that has evolved and hybridized throughout the decades. This book examines the growth of the giallo genre in terms of themes, influences, narrative and style. It explores Italian films, made-for-TV films and miniseries from the dawn of sound cinema to the present, all contextualized within the film industry and through their impact on society, culture and mores."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery films $z Italy $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Italy $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery television programs $z Italy $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Television $z Italy $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503011251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2EC3AC6B8CA11EDAC6855BD37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
