FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4K UHD
THESE FLIES WILL MAKE YOUR HAIR STAND UP...
"WE ADMIRE THIS POSTMODERN JEWEL AND ITS PIECES OF BRAVERY." TÉLÉRAMA
For several days, Roberto Tobias, a drummer in a rock band, has been followed by a man in the street. When he finally stops the stranger, the situation gets out of hand and a murder ensues. Caught on camera with a gun in his hand during the crime, Roberto soon receives threats from a mysterious person who witnessed the entire scene. He then becomes the victim of odious harassment while other murders are committed around him…
After The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and The Cat o' Nine Tails , Four Flies masterfully closes Dario Argento's Animal Trilogy, which earned him the nickname "Italian Hitchcock". Crowned with 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 experimentation. Between the thriller and the psychological drama punctuated with humor, Four Flies is available in 4K Ultra HD™ in its newly restored complete Italian cut and presented in Dolby Vision™ (HDR10 compatible), as well as on Blu-ray™ in its newly restored complete Italian cut in 4K.
