Wer will mit mir in der italienischen Drag-Bar von IL GATTO A NOVE CODE (1971) chillen?
Wie kann der Film so woke sein?
Wieso gibt mir der Killer Adachi aus Persona vibes?
Was hat Argento genommen, dass er jedes mal so kocht?
Wieso ist der Film am ende trotzdem nicht besonders gut?
"Naturally. Cops are all bastards. We beat confessions out of people. Take bribes. We oppress minorities."
"I was just wondering what devious device you'll think up now to get me to bed."
"-The couch is very comfortable."

Not his best (which he also admits in a pretty funny interview on the blu-ray - "too American"). Ridiculous plot and terrible, forced romance. But full of fantastic (supporting) characters and set pieces. No one else can make the streets of a beautiful place like Torino look this creepy. Very cool editing and effective use of POV. A few moments of Hitchcockian experimentation (milk POV lol)
Worth watching for the fantastic Morricone soundtrack alone.

Honestly loved it more than I thought because of things I’ve read about it. It was a good watch and I liked the characters a lot. Arno is one of my fave giallo players now!
