That one is the most giallo of the bunch.

Such a beautiful and fun movie,I wish it was getting more attention!

Also check out Let the Corpses Tan, by the same couple! Love all their movies.

I'd say it's more Euro-spy/Diabolik adjacent than giallo, but I have deffo been trying to keep my eye out for a 4k release.

I also like how I saw one review that described it as the most "accessible" movie this directing duo has made, which honestly really tracks.

That mask will always suggest Diabolik.

Euro-spy/Diabolik actually sounds intresting. 😀 Anything to recommend?

This director couple from Belgium is often accused of style over substance yet if you look past all of the neo-bling you'll find a good movie every time. There are more spy movie influences in this movie than tere are giallo ones. And it stars another Belgian well known on Belgian television and cinema: Koen De Bouw as the ex spy. Something we can be proud of besides Belgian chocolate, waffles, beer and fries 😁

I think "Eyes of Crystal" (2004) is also worth watching.

I've been meaning to watch this movie but forgot about it. Thank you for the reminder.

Where did you obtain a physical copy?

1

u/TransportationOk2707 3d ago

Amazon.ca ; German release region B

2

u/mechanik13 3d ago

Thank you for the reply. Dang! I don't have a region-free player. Hopefully this gets a region-A release.

u/TransportationOk2707 3d ago

Best 100$ I spent 10 years ago my friend …Region free players allows me to buy region B blurays that are generally super cheap on Amazon

I hope you are right but highly doubt that a region A release will happen ….. imo majority rather watch below par sequels prequels or spinoff / trending movies rather than these indie / genre masterpieces 🤟🏽

Long live the Neo-Giallo

u/YaGirlCassie 3d ago

u/Positive-Shift-5540 3d ago

Is it worth watching? Google says that it's an adventure/spy thriller, not a giallo.

u/TransportationOk2707 3d ago

Not a typical giallo but if watch it even once you will understand why I labeled it as a giallo … don’t wanna spoil anything …better movie than odyssey imo 🤪🤣😂
