A masterpiece of Italian cinema, known, studied and imitated all over the world.

Dario Argento’s Profondo Rosso (1975) marked the culmination of the golden age of Italian thrillers. Starring David Hemmings and Clara Calamai, the film constructs an ingenious narrative puzzle accompanied by an unsettling soundtrack, where Goblin’s progressive rock blends with Giorgio Gaslini’s jazz.

Presented in a digitally restored version by the National Film Archive in collaboration with RTI, produced at L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna with the contribution of director of photography Luciano Tovoli.

Film Genres: Then and Now is a programme curated by Fabio Melelli that brings together timeless classics and more recent films, showing how genre cinema continually renews itself through distinctive authorial visions.

introduction by
Fabio Melelli, Dario Argento, Angelo Jacono and Fabio Pignatelli

In collaboration with the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia – Cineteca Nazionale.
