Death Laid an Egg

Streaming video - 1968

Arguably the most insanely idiosyncratic giallo ever directed, DEATH LAID AN EGG is a true wayward masterpiece of kaleidoscopic Italian counterculture cinema. Starring legendary leading man Jean-Louis Trintignant (THE CONFORMIST) as a married man that may or may not be a serial killer, Gina Lollobrigida (BEAT THE DEVIL) as his delectable yet overly domineering careerist wife, and Ewa Aulin (CANDY) as his murderous double-crossing mistress, the film is the virtual giallo equivalent to Godard’s WEEKEND in terms of its crass car crash fetishism, savage anti-bourgeois sentiments, and overall anarchic spirit.
