Final Trailer for Neo-Giallo Amer
Monday, February 8th, 2010My friends over at Twitch have scored the final trailer for Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet’s modern take the classic giallo thrillers of the 1970s, Amer, and it’s everything you’d expect from a trailer for a film paying homage to Italian suspense films.
The most striking thing about the clip is how retro it looks. Generally speaking, when filmmakers try to make their films look like they were made in an earlier era, it never works. Technology and fashion and all of these other little elements conspire to ruin the period vibe. That doesn’t appear to be the case with Amer–everything we’ve seen so far makes it feel as though this was a film that could have been shot at Cinecitta back in 1975.
Anyway, enough blathering from me–check out the clip below and bask in the stylish giallo goodness (and music from Stelvio Cipriani’s La Polizia Sta a Guardare soundtrack). Amer will be making it’s American debut at the SXSW Film Festival, which runs in Austin, Texas, from March 12th through the 20th.
