Giallo Cinema and Its Folktale Roots: A Critical Study of 10 Films, 1962-1987
Michael Sevastakis
The Italian giallo film genre was based on popular British and American fiction of the 30s and 40s, adapted to the explicitly liberal filmmaking of 1970s and 1980s Europe. This book analyses the censored sex and violence of giallo films, finding in them an inherent beauty and tracing their literary antecedents to the elements of the fairy tale as described by Russian folklorist Vladimir Propp.
