| AIongside the spaghetti western, the giaIlo is one of the most famous ltalian export genres: films steeped in mystery and intrigue, deIivered with styIized violence and unforgettable musical themes. The Possessed masterfuIly combines noir, mystery and giaIlo tropes in a proto-giallo based on one of Italy's most notorious crimes. It teIls the story of a depressed novelist in search of his old fIame who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances, prompting an investigation that finds him plunged into a disturbing drama of famiIial secrets, perversion, madness and murder. The Fifth Cord boasts a compIex pIot of investigation into a series of brutaI assaults. As the body count rises, whisky swilIing journaIist Andrea BiId finds himself under suspicion, making it all the more imperative he crack the case. The Pyjama GirI Case, inspired by a real-life case that baffIes 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 yeIIow pyjamas...
