Chris: I saw that some Fulci films went to streaming recently so I picked this one which had the highest IMDB rating, and this Italian horror film was something of a borefest, Avoid.

Richie: It was not very good, Avoid.

Lamberto Bava (cameo in editing room)

(Apology: the pics aren’t too hot because the print wasn’t too hot. Probably something to do with A Blade in the Dark being shot on 35mm (for TV) then blown up for 70mm (cinema). Or just the usual pot luck of Blu-Ray transfers.)

A Blade in the Dark is a 1983 giallo by Lamberto Bava which doesn’t exactly disgrace itself, but nor is it as flamboyantly trashy as you might expect from the director of the nonsense classic Delirium (1987). It’s like Delirium’s better behaved but far duller cousin. While A Blade in the Dark doesn’t make you want to run around without your trousers on, nor does it make you want to take up golf. It’s…okay. Much like the house most  of the movie is set in, A Blade in the Dark possesses too many vacant stretches for comfort, but every now and again there’s an item of interest that makes you glad you bothered. Sometimes it’s a gruesome kill, sometimes it’s something agreeably ridiculous like a small kid in a bad wig, sometimes it’s something heart swellingly surreal like an indoor rain of tennis balls, sometimes it’s just the hope that Bruno will change his jumper, but there’s usually something to keep you awake before too long. True, the movie title does fib about the dark; it’s not actually very dark, even at night; but there is definitely a blade or two, and that’s’ what matters in a giallo. Well, it’s hardly nut-tight plotting and believable characters that matters, is it now? C’mon.

So, in case you were wondering what the set-up is…Bruno (Andrea Occhipinti), a somewhat dull witted composer with bad taste in jumpers, rents a large house from twitchy Tony Rendina (Michele Soavi) in order to work on the score to a giallo, but soon finds his work rate impaired by a series of bizarre occurrences. Occurrences which strongly suggest someone is bumping off young women in the house whenever his back is turned. With a singular lack of bodies and only a slashed up spank mag and a bunch of suggestive blood stains to back him up, Bruno decides not to contact the police but instead raises his concerns with the two people he knows and the gardener, who all basically tell him he’s soft in the head. Bruno might not be a very exciting person but he could have a point. Why do female visitors mysteriously disappear? Why is there blood on the bushes and in the bathroom? Who is the mysterious Linda? What’s that stink coming out of the pool filter? Why would anyone keep a suitcase full of tennis balls? Who rents out a house this badly furnished? Is Bruno just a morbid bugger or is there (da-da-DA!!) really a killer in the house? [Spoiler: there’s really a killer in the house.]

In my defence, it’s not much of a spoiler as we see the murders in all their gory glory. Bruno is a singularly unimaginative man so it’s never in doubt that this is really happening; this isn’t one of those tricksy movies where it’s all going on in someone’s mad head. No, A Blade in the Dark is not exactly unpredictable plot-wise. You will probably guess who the killer is, but you will fail to guess why, as the explanation is as rewardingly “say what now?!?” as in any giallo worth its ketchup. A Blade in the Dark might have a noticeable tension deficiency, but it sure has some murders in it. Without wishing to sound like a thoroughly reprehensible individual, they are quite good murders too; even if the build ups are a bit too long-winded. There’s only so much panicked running away you can watch without starting to suspect the victim’s heart really isn’t in this getting away lark. Eventually, though, the killer corners them and gets stuck in, usually with a craft-knife. This is the killer’s preferred weapon, mainly because it’s available; like many composers Bruno has one lying about along with his spank mags on his work desk. (Oscar® winning movie score composer John Williams never starts a score without a copy of Juggly Wugglies and a craft-knife to hand.) But the killer isn’t too fussy and if a massive kitchen knife, a wrench or a spool of film is at hand then that’ll do. A good giallo killer should always be adaptable.

A Blade in the Dark was originally made for Italian TV so I was a bit taken aback by the levels of violence on show. Nowadays, sure, anything goes. “Won’t anyone think of the children!”; it’s the end of decency and humanity, blah, blah,  and all that. But back in 1983 I’m not sure television was ready for a scene where a woman’s hair washing is interrupted by a knife through the hand, a bag over her face and a repeated and very determined face-sink interaction. Turns out, television wasn’t ready for that, so I win that one. Originally filmed as four half-hour parts of a TV mystery series (Brutal Lady Murder Mystery Half Hour?), with each part ending with a murder, A Blade in the Dark logistically requires a minimum of 4 murders. But Bruno only knows 2 women - his scatty actress girlfriend Julia (Lara Lamberti) and the oddball director of the giallo he’s working on, Angela (Fabiola Toledo).

Julia likes to show up unannounced, sex Bruno up and tell lies, while Angela, like many movie directors no doubt, thinks ringing Bruno up and threatening to kill him in a creepy voice is a real thighslapper of a joke. Obviously both these ladies are a bit freak-ay and thus squarely in the frame as the craft-knife wielding killer, so to maintain the suspense someone else has to get slaughtered upfront. Luckily the house has a swimming pool. As we all know swimming pools attract young women like inappropriate internet content attracts men. And you never know when a young woman might fall out of  a cupboard, for reasons even she seems unsure of. By hook or by crook A Blade in the Dark gets its murders in. Basically, it’s the kills that lift A Blade in the Dark out of mediocrity. Well, the kills and one other thing. Surprisingly this thing turns out to be a lively, self-deprecating intelligence.

While A Blade in the Dark’s TV origins might lead you to expect an approach as dull as Bruno’s jumper, that’s misleading. It certainly caught me quite off guard with the first trick it plays (no spoilers), but that isn’t the only trick this cheeky monkey plays; which is even more surprising. Because, for reasons known only to itself, A Blade in the Dark gets a bit meta, which is fun; it’s even more fun because it just can’t quite manage to pull it off. That’s okay, when meta works it always feels a bit smug; wonky meta is way better. I like my meta a bit rough round the edges, but that could just be me. The crux of the meta is the movie within the movie. Crucially, the movie Bruno is scoring and Angela is directing may contain the key to the mystery. It definitely contains Giovanni Frezza, who has now appeared in so many movies I’ve watched recently (Demons, The House by the Cemetery and this one) I fear he may be haunting me, like that guy in Wes Craven’s Shocker (1986).

But I digress, the line between that in-movie movie and the movie you are watching is blurred occasionally to enjoyably disquieting effect.  Mostly A Blade in the Dark does this by having a bit of fun via Bruno’s music, with that diegetic and non-diegetic business people like to go on about to look smart, and then they wonder why no one invites them to parties. There’s no consistency or real point to A Blade in the Dark’s metatastic boondogglery, but it is fun. Basically, its reach exceeds its grasp, but, hey, points for trying. (NB: If you want to watch a meta-(neo) giallo where the meta actually works (and without any smuggery) then see Berberian Sound Studio (2012)). As TV shows rejigged into movies go, A Blade in the Dark is no Mullholland Drive (2001) but it is just luridly nonsensical enough to be a decent giallo. And there ain’t no harm in that.

IL NECROLOGIO DEI GIUSTI – IN QUESTI BRUTTI GIORNI PERDIAMO ANCHE CLAUDIO RISI, 71 ANNI, REGISTA, SCENEGGIATORE, FRATELLO DI MARCO, FIGLIO DI DINO, NIPOTE DI NELO – SIMPATICO, INTELLIGENTE, ALLEGRO, SEMPRE DISPONIBILE, È MORTO PER LE COMPLICAZIONI DI UN BRUTTO INFARTO. HA DIRETTO UNA DELLE SERIE DI MAGGIOR SUCCESSO E CULTO DELLA TV ITALIANA, “I RAGAZZI DELLA 3A C”, 1987-89, IL NOSTRO “HAPPY DAYS” – VIDEO

-

Claudio Risi rip

Marco Giusti per Dagospia

Ecco. In questi brutti giorni perdiamo anche Claudio Risi, 71 anni, regista, sceneggiatore, fratello di Marco, figlio di Dino, nipote di Nelo. Simpatico, intelligente, allegro, sempre disponibile, è morto per le complicazioni di un brutto infarto che lo aveva colpito ormai due mesi fa. Ha diretto una delle serie di maggior successo e culto della tv italiana, “I ragazzi della 3a C”, 1987-89, il nostro “Happy Days”, ben 33 episodi che lasciarono il segno tra i ragazzi cresciuti negli anni ’80, dove unì a un gruppo di fresche presenze, Fabio Ferrari, Fabrizio Bracconeri, Claudia Vegliante, Stefania Dadda, Sharon Gusberti, vecchi e gloriosi caratteristi del cinema vanziniano più bello, da Guido Nicheli a Nicoletta Elmi a Ennio Antonelli, con apparizioni strepitose di Dagmar Lassander, Max Turilli, Sabrina Ferilli, Jimmy il Fenomeno, Martine Brochard, Paolo Panelli. La serie venne anche premiata con due Telegatti.

Nato a Berna nel 1948, Claudio entrò giovanissimo nel cinema, seguendo il padre come assistente per tutti gli anni ’70 e ’80, in film come “Sono fotogenico”, “Sesso e volentieri”, “Fantasma d’amore”, “Dagobert”, lavorando anche con Mario Monicelli (“Vogliamo i colonnelli”), Carlo Di Palma (“Teresa la ladra”) e Franco Giraldi. Esordì nel cinema giovanil-vacanziero con il divertente e riuscito “Windsurf – IL vento nelle mani”, 1984, girato nella costa vicino a Sabaudia, con Pierre Cosso, Lara Lamberti, che si firmava Lara Nazinski, Urbano Barberini, un giovanissimo Alessandro Gassman, Paola Onofri, seguito da un primo tv movie, “Yesterday” con Jackie Basehart e dal giustamente celebre “I ragazzi della 3 C”.

Lontano dal cinema più impegnato del fratello Marco, provò con “Pugni di rabbia” con Ricky Memphis e Johara Farley, qualcosa di più duro, ma tornò presto a occuparsi di commedia con la serie tv “S.P.Q.R”, 1998, nata dopo il successo dell’omonimo film di Carlo Vanzina. Nelle 11 puntate della serie troviamo però un cast diverso rispetto al film, Antonello Fassari, Nino Frassica, Nadia Rinaldi, Cristiana Capotondi, con apparizioni di Alvaro Vitali, Gigi Marzullo, Guido Nicheli e di Elenoire Casalegno come Poppea. Girò poi il film tv “A caro prezzo”, 1999, con Cesare Bocci e, assieme al padre Dino, il documentario “Rudolf Nureyev alla Scala”, 2005, con interventi di Roberto Bolle. Negli ultimi anni, dopo la fine della coppia Boldi-De Sica, protagonisti dei cinepanettoni classici di Aurelio De Laurentiis, era stato chiamato a dirigere Massimo Boldi e un bel gruppo di comici in due film di un certo successo, “Matrimonio alle Bahamas” e “Matrimonio a Parigi”. Film molto liberi, pieni di energie, e molto divertenti.  

[elcineblue]

The plot is vulgarly strange Lara Lamberti is incredibly beautiful and crosses the screen, at one point she is seen naked and there is no need to say anything everything is done. it has hot scenes bizarre scenes. the doctor is somewhat perverted with the girls from the boarding school it is also very bizarre at times with pov-shots and 80's action music with overtones of a cult film clear influence of Italian horror-realism,  a golden age of cinema.
