Synopsis:
Dario Argento describes FOUR FLIES ON GRAY VELVET as a deeply personal 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 interviews for this edition, reveal how the director found his alter ego in Brandon, channeling his own paranoia to create an unsettling psychological thriller. The result is a shocking, knife-edge whodunit with a stunning twist. Introspection becomes art in Argento's hands, making FOUR FLIES ON GRAY VELVET essential viewing for anyone seeking a glimpse into the director's psyche. It concludes Argento's iconic 'Animal' trilogy, paving the way for ' Suspiria ' and his later expressionistic masterpieces that earned him the title 'Master of Horror.'
Celebrated rock musician Roberto Tobias (Michael Brandon) is thrust into a nightmare. Framed for a brutal stabbing, he soon finds himself convicted in a web of senseless murders. The only clue to the deranged killer lies in a cryptic image captured 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 GRAY VELVET reaches an unforgettable slow-motion finale in breath-taking cinematic style. This 4K-UHD HDR edition, is encoded from the 4K-restoration of original video and audio materials, finally presenting Maestro Argento's vision as he wishes it to be experienced – preferably in a completely dark room!
