The Perfume of the Lady in Black
a.k.a. Il profumo della signora in nero
1974 · Directed by Francesco Barilli · Italy
The Perfume of the Lady in Black is a very odd giallo from 1974, with a black magic cult, insanity and cannibalism in the mix. Not a classic in any way, but an interesting addition to the genre.
Francesco Barilli was the writer of Man from Deep River, but I don’t think I have come across him as a director before this.
I am noting it as of interest only, but wouldn’t put it on a must-watch list.
