The Possessed masterfully combines noir, mystery and giallo tropes in a proto-giallo based on one of Italy's most notorious crimes. It tells the story of a depressed novelist in search of his old flame who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances, prompting an investigation that finds him plunged into a disturbing drama of familial secrets, perversion, madness and murder. The Fifth Cord boasts a complex plot of investigation into a series of brutal assaults. As the body count rises, whisky swilling journalist Andrea Bild finds himself under suspicion, making it all the more imperative he crack the case. The Pyjama Girl Case, inspired by a real-life case that baffles to this day, takes us to Australia, where former inspector Timpson comes out of retirement to crack the case of a young woman, found on the beach, shot in the head, burned to hide her identity and dressed in distinctive yellow pyjamas... These essential gialli films feature a raft of talent in front and behind the camera, with each film restored from the original camera negative and presented with a range of contextualizing extras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2K restorations from the original camera negatives for The Possessed, The Fifth Cord and The Pyajama Girl Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of each film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal lossless mono Italian and English soundtracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish subtitles for the Italian soundtracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlipcase packaging with newly designed artwork by Adam Rabalais\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISC 1: THE POSSESSED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by writer and critic Tim Lucas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Dyer on The Possessed, video appreciation by the cultural critic and academic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat’s Eyes, interview with the film’s makeup artist Giannetto De Rossi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Days a Week, interview with the film’s award-winning assistant art director Dante Ferretti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Legacy of the Bazzoni Brothers, interview with actor\/director Francesco Barilli, a close friend of Luigi and Camillo Bazzoni\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sean Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISC 2: THE FIFTH CORD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by critic Travis Crawford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLines and Shadows, video essay on the film’s use of architecture and space by critic Rachael Nisbet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisky Giallore, video interview with author and critic Michael Mackenzie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Day for Nero, video interview with actor Franco Nero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rhythm Section, video interview with film editor Eugenio Alabiso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRare deleted sequence, restored from the original negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Italian and English theatrical trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Haunt Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISC 3: THE PYJAMA GIRL CASE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by Troy Howarth, author of So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo interview with author and critic Michael Mackenzie on the internationalism of the giallo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with actor Howard Ross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with editor Alberto Tagliavia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with composer Riz Ortolani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian theatrical trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Chris Malbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45167695527980,"sku":"760137130017","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/giallo-essentials-red-edition-standard-edition-new-blu-ray-760137130017-7155239.jpg?v=1772342832","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/giallo-essentials-red-edition-standard-edition","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
