 THE
BIRD WITH THE
CRYSTAL
PLUMAGE (Blue
Underground) 1970. 96 minutes. Not Rated, violence, nudity.
Yawn…yawn…yawn, until the killer is exposed.
Directed
by Dario Argento, this flic is often referred to when discussing classic
Italian Giallo. Personally, I do not get it. Although the story is slow as
hell, I can appreciate Argento’s direction, camera work, and great use
of colours and shadows. Frankly, fans of Argento and Giallo will love this
release due to its quality and extras. If you’re not a fan of this
genre, then you are not missing anything. DVD one includes the movie,
audio commentary, and trailers. DVD two has four interviews, including
Argento. – Denis Sheehan
