I rewatched Signor Bava’s genre-defining Blood and Black Lace tonight, this being the film that’s generally agreed to be the starting point of the giallo film… not going to re-review, cos I did that once already on my old film blog, but I will provide some stills from the Arrow blu-ray I have. I have the comparatively disappointing old VCI DVD of it, and this was a much needed upgrade; this is one of the most visually stunning films of its era in whatever genre, with some goddamn extraordinary colours and lighting work. Click to expand to 1920×1080 (I haven’t shrunk any of these down from the blu).
