With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and people ready for a good cry. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. A good follow-up to A Haunting in Venice. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 1 hr 37 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Sandro, a detective, finds his wife strangled. His girl-friend Tiffany, who works as photographer, makes a "Blow up" from a photo, what Sandro finds beside the victim. Sandro and Tiffany are looking for the woman on the photo, Laura. They finds her in a Night Club in Rome...
