Reminder Cfp “The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh” and the Giallo: an International Film Conference H-Film Reminder CfP “The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh” and the giallo: an International Film Conference Discussion published by Andreas Ehrenreich on Monday, February 9, 2015 The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh and the giallo: an International Film Conference Hosted by the Austrian Historical Institute and Sheffield Hallam University’s Department of Humanities in cooperation with Cineteca Nazionale The giallo is a cinema of leather gloves and razors, of inappropriate pathos, which dignifies murder as an artistic act. It is a guilty pleasure whose concise mannerism represents a unique phenomenon within the history of European film. Mario Bava who conceived the formula with The Evil Eye (1963) provided its first masterpiece withBlood and Black Lace (1964) to inspire very heterogeneous successors. Dario Argento, Massimo Dallamano, Luciano Ercoli, Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi and, especially, Sergio Martino are the most influential but only a few of all the directors producing perhaps more than 200 gialli in the 1970s. Through the DVD boom, a new generation of cinephiles has gained access to the popular film cycle, which has been enthusiastically embraced. The conference, whose aim is to explore the genre beyond Bava’s and Argento’s well-studied contributions, takes Sergio Martino’s The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (1971) as a focal point, but proposals on other films are just as welcome. Likely topics include: Cinematic characteristics of the film cycle Configurations of the set piece The significance of film music (of, e. g., Bruno Nicolai, Stelvio Cipriani or Ennio Morricone) The giallo as a transnational phenomenon Production/distribution/exhibition/reception contexts The construction of authorship Generic hybridity/the giallo’s relation to coeval popular film cycles Cross-media appropriations Studies of specific films or remakes Archival sources stemming from giallo productions Of course, the topics above are to be understood merely as suggestions and not as constraints. We are delighted to announce Professor Richard Dyer (King’s College London) as our distinguished keynote speaker. On the evening of June 7, The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh will be screened at the Cinema Trevi, and followed by a panel discussion with director Sergio Martino, screenwriter Ernesto Citation: Andreas Ehrenreich.

  • An Interview with Sergio Martino: an American in Rome
    1 An interview with Sergio Martino: An American in Rome Giulio Olesen, Bournemouth University Introduction Sergio Martino (born Rome, 1938) is a film director known for his contribution to 1970s and 1980s Italian filone cinema. His first success came with the giallo Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh (Next!) (1971), from which he moved to spaghetti westerns (Mannaja [A Man Called Blade], 1977), gialli (I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale [Torso], 1973), poliziotteschi (Milano trema: la polizia vuole giustizia [The Violent Professionals], 1973), horror movies (La montagna del dio cannibale [The Mountain of the Cannibal God], 1978; L’isola degli uomini pesce [Island of Mutations], 1979), science fiction movies (2019, dopo la caduta di New York [2019, After the Fall of New York], 1983) and comedies (Giovannona Coscialunga disonorata con onore [Giovannona Long-Thigh], 1973). His works witness the hybridization of international and local cinematic genres as a pivotal characteristic of Italian filone cinema. This face-to-face interview took place in Rome on 26 October 2015 in the venues premises of Martino’s production company, Dania Film, and addresses his horror and giallo productions. Much scholarship analyses filone cinema under the lens of cult or transnational cinema studies. In this respect, the interview aims at collecting Martino’s considerations regarding the actual state of debate on Italian filone cinema. Nevertheless, e Emphasis is put on a different approach towards this kind of cinema; an approach that aims at analysing filone cinema for its capacity to represent contemporaneous issues and concerns. Accordingly, introducing Martino’s relationship with Hollywood, the interview focuses on the way in which his horror movies managed to intercept register fears and neuroses of Italian society.

Rushing Anyone Here for Love? One of the most memorable sequences in Howard Hawks's Gentle- men Prefer Blondes (US, 1953) is the musical number "Ain't There Anyone Here for Love?" Dorothy Shaw (Jane Russell) is accom- panying her friend Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) lo Piiris on a cruise across the Atlantic. While Lorelei is romantically involved with a wealthy young man, Dorothy is single—and lonely for some company. So she is only too happy to find tliiit the ship is filled with a team of handsome male athletes, bodybuilders, and gym- nasts. As Dorothy asks in an earlier scene, "The Olympic team? For me? Now wasn't thai thoughtful of somebody?" Her sense of tri- umph fades, iiouever, once the voyage is underway. The atbletes are in training and barely glance at her. The song's lyrics likewise revolve around this conflict between sports and sex: for instance, one stanza runs, "I'm apatbetic / and nonathletic / Can't keep up in a marathon / T need some shoulders to lean tipon / . Ain't there anyone here for love?"

  • Il Profumo Della Signora in Nero and the Giallo Film
    Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies Issue 22 February 2012 Cannibals and Other Impossible Bodies: Il Profumo Della Signora In Nero and the Giallo film Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia For cult film audiences and academics alike, the Italian giallo film is considered predominantly an auteurist domain, where films by the subgenre‟s big names—Mario and Lamberto Bava, Lucio Fulci, Aldo Lado, Sergio Martino, Umberto Lenzi, Luciano Ercoli, and of course Dario Argento—have generally garnered the most attention. Translating literally to “yellow,” the word giallo refers to the yellow covers of the pulp crime novels released by publisher Mondadori during the 1920s, locating the origins of the giallo in the work of authors such as Edgar Wallace. As one of the first giallo films, Mario Bava‟s The Girl Who Knew Too Much (La ragazza che sapev troppo, 1962) contains many of the giallo film‟s signature elements: sex, crime, and most famously a psychotic killer in black leather gloves. But as Mikel J. Koven notes in his book La Dolce Morte: Vernacular Cinema and the Italian Giallo Film (2006), these generic traits are far from uniform, and a privileging of the most well- known giallo auteurs risks missing the subgenre‟s thematic foundations. Inherent to Koven‟s analysis of giallo is its status as a fundamentally Italian cultural phenomenon. However, the reality of their production contexts speaks of a category that expanded far beyond national borders. While the giallo film is commonly discussed in terms of its fundamental “Italianness,” it is worthy of note that 68 of the 134 films listed in Adrian Luther Smith‟s book Blood and Black Lace: The Definitive Guide to Italian Sex and Horror Movies (1999) are international co-productions.

Riff on adventure movies, Robinson Crusoe topic Not yet a cannibal film in the strict sense. Elements of every cannibal movie: • fake authenticity (German dubbing and text contradict each other) • white people come to a tribal area • ritual rape • tribal female nudity • animal slaughter • eating guts White male character as the observer, camera, alter ego of the audi- ence: Duplication of camera perspective and character perspective. Only the enemy tribe consists of cannibals. Racism: Cannibals have darker skin. His wife is the most Western-looking woman in the vil- lage.
