"WE ADMIRE THIS POSTMODERN JEWEL AND ITS PIECES OF BRAVERY." TELERAMA
For several days now, Roberto Tobias, drummer of a rock band, has been followed by a man in the street. When he finally intercepts the stranger, the situation gets out of hand and a murder ensues. Photographed with a gun in hand during the crime, Roberto soon receives threats from a mysterious person who witnessed the whole scene. He then becomes the victim of an odious harassment while other murders are committed around him...
After The Bird with Crystal Plumage and The Nine-Tailed Cat , 4 Gray Velvet Flies masterfully closes Dario Argento's Animal Trilogy, which earned him his nickname of “Italian Hitchcock”. Haloed by a memorable score by Ennio Morricone, this dive into the heart of a paranoid and deadly nightmare is an opportunity for the filmmaker to perfect his mastery of the giallo while playing with visual experiments. Between thriller and psychological drama punctuated with humour, 4 Gray Velvet Flies is available in 4K Ultra HD™ in its newly restored Italian cut and presented in Dolby Vision™ (HDR10 compatible), as well as in Blu-ray™ in its newly restored full Italian edit in 4K.
