Dario Argento describes FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET as a deeplypersonal exploration of his inner turmoil: “I decided to let loose, go
crazy, and unleash all my creativity and personal nightmares. Psychoanalysis plays a major role in the film because it’s partly autobiographical – rather Freudian, in fact.”
Both Argento and lead actor Michael Brandon, in exclusive interviewsfor this edition, reveal how the director found his alter ego in Brandon,channelling his own paranoia to create an unsettling psychologicalthriller. The result is a shocking, knife-edge whodunit with a stunningtwist. Introspection becomes art in Argento’s hands, making FOURFLIES ON GREY VELVET essential viewing for anyone seeking a glimpseinto the director’s psyche. It concludes Argento’s iconic ‘Animal’ trilogy,paving the way for ‘Suspiria’ and his later expressionistic masterpiecesthat earned him the title ‘Master of Horror.’
Celebrated rock musician Roberto Tobias (Michael Brandon) is thrustinto a nightmare. Framed for a brutal stabbing, he soon finds himselfensnared in a web of senseless murders. The only clue to the deranged killer lies in a cryptic imagecaptured on a victim’s retina. Roberto’s desperate search for truth will push him to the brink of madness,culminating in a shocking climax.
With Argento’s signature blend of terror and visual opulence—and Ennio Morricone’s haunting score—FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET reaches an unforgettable slow-motion finale in breath-taking cinematicstyle.
