Double Face (1969)
8/10
Oh What a Fabulous Chandelier
9 February 2024
Double Face might have the most fantastic room in all of giallo history, despite being an Italian-German production set in England. The gold curtains are shamelessly excessive and therefore absolutely superb.

I enjoyed the contrast between youthful swinging London with the seedy porn industry underground juxtaposed with a nightmarish level of privilege personified in a deeply deserving murder victim. Oh yes.

There are strains of Diabolique and adjacent giallo So Sweet, So Perverse the latter of which strangely emerged the same year as this unusual yet elegant flick. They're both solid but I like this one a little better despite the flaw of being in English.
