A city is a victim of a masked murderer sneaks into homes of single women to kill them brutally. At the same time, a young woman makes hitchhiking in the middle of the night. She meets a friendly but at the same time, strange man. A French film (in this case half length) with title Italian giallo? You can not expect anything other than a modern tribute to all those wonderful movies that are still preserved beautifully and that many of us continue to enjoy again and again. " Il gatto dal viso d'uomo "is a confusing giallo pretending to be cause for praise to Dario Argento for several reasons: among others, the use of red and black, the handling of zoom, murderer of her notorious black with gloves, music to Goblin and two key moments: the second murder that appears out of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) and a the final sequences very similar to one attack, knife in hand, the master Suspiria (1977) . also, and outside and the Italian genre, this film, especially in its final part, reminiscent of the dreamlike film of David Lynch . I'm talking about, perhaps too lightly, the likes of Argento and Lynch, so it is quite possible that those who attempt to carry out such purpose ends in absolute failure . This is the case, in my opinion, the film Marc Dray, and obviously, "Il gatto d'uomo dal viso " can not take everything seriously than director intended. First Instead, because you have an unusual talent to avoid disaster, and secondly, because the director tries to put the images in the absence of a clear story and a longer period, the full force of the film, and Dray not have that capacity. The lack of funding is unclear, but it is often supplemented with talent, and although neither could be described as swill, what is clear is that talent itself is missing. It does not help the excessive use of darkness and an unnecessarily elongated frame, it is possible that a more developed and accurate script could lead to a more passable film. I do not think more than two possible paths the definitive conclusion of the film: either you take it as a graceful tribute which reflects certain scenes to the delight of giallomaníacos , or they take as a sacrilegious nonsense for people who love the likes of master Dario . I still I have opted for any of the options, what is certain is that it is one of the few disappointments that I have been lately the new French pop and irresistible beat. ---------------------------------
