![]() It is pretty episodic, with some parts being more successful than others. In brief summary, it's about a man who returns home to his apartment to find it locked from the inside and his wife mysteriously gone his subsequent investigations lead to a variety of very strange events. Frankly, I found the story to be pretty incomprehensible to be perfectly honest. Consequently, this is not a story-driven film in the least. It uses the imagery and music from the genre in a highly experimental manner. But make no mistake, this film like its predecessor is really not a giallo per se. ![]() Amer was made up of three parts, the middle section having no giallo influence at all alternatively, The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears is fully focused on a giallo influence from start to finish. Even its title is a knowing nod to the gloriously convoluted names that early 70's gialli often went under. ![]() We also have a soundtrack made up of a variety of music from 70's gialli – amongst others there are choice cuts from Killer Nun (1978) and All the Colors of the Dark (1972). Motifs familiar to fans of the genre include a character called Edwige, a black leather gloved assassin, retro phones, gaudy décor, early 70's looking women and a distinct lack of 21st century technology. Both use the iconography and music of the Italian giallo films of the 1970's as the basic ingredients to construct an art film. That film shares a great deal of similarities with their latest feature, The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears. Writer-directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani are the duo responsible for Amer.
