Libido Blu-ray 1965 Radiance Ernesto Gastaldi Dominique Boschero

Before Blood and Black Lace, there was Ernesto Gastaldi’s early Giallo thriller, Libido!

Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition Blu-ray (Region B) for 1965's Libido. The directorial debut of iconic screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi (The Horrible Dr Hichcock, Torso), this gothic psychosexual thriller is a distinctive proto-giallo based on a story by Gastaldi’s wife and muse Mara Maryl, who also stars.

A young man (Giancarlo Giannini, Swept Away) returns to the seaside mansion where, as a child, he witnessed his father kill a woman. Haunted by memories of sadomasochistic games and murder, he begins to doubt his sanity and the trust of his friends.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This set contains a Blu-ray (Region B) Disc. An all-region Blu-ray player is required to read Region B Discs. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B Discs. Looking for all-region players? We've got you covered!
