Extras are:
New Commentary with critics Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson – Howarth, the author of So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films (Midnight Marquee Press, Inc, 2015), and Thompson, the owner of MondoDigital.com, team up once again to break down every aspect of a Euro-cult title. After being paired up on a fair number of tracks, the two have an easy back-and-forth, filling the time with behind-the-scenes factoids, actor histories, discussion of contemporary context, and fan musings. One of my favorite moments is when Thompson, as a video critic and collector, talks about the olden days of paying a premium price for a bootlegs of the Japanese Laserdisc in order to avoid the US VHS tapes horrible pan-and-scan cropping. Good times. I also appreciate Howarth’s habit of crediting English-language dub actors and listing some of the other Italian genre films where we might have heard their voices.
Commentary by filmmaker and Argento expert Thomas Rostock – Rostock takes a slightly more technical approach to his commentary (describing camera rigs and techniques, for instance), but also sets aside plenty of time for analytical discussion, anecdotes, and historical/contextual notes. My only problem with this nicely paced, full-bodied track is Rostock’s occasional habit of narrating on-screen action.
Deep into the Red (57:40, 4K) – An extended interview with Dario Argento coupled with an archive interview with star Daria Nicolodi. Argento recalls the events leading him to take up directing thrillers again, early drafts and rewrites, production and shooting locations, cinematographic tricks, production design, the cast, playing the killer’s hands, gore effects, hiring Goblin (then Cherry Five) after Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, and Genesis turned him down, editing, and release. Nicolodi chimes in with stories about meeting Argento, his direction as opposed to other filmmakers she’d acted for, and working with Hemmings.
The Medium Wore Black (20:55, 4K) – Actress Macha Méril (Helga the psychic) has a fun time remembering the making of Deep Red. She apparently couldn’t get a lot of parts because she looked too “Nordic,” so she was very grateful for the part and the chance to perform in English. She recalls the fun and trauma of being murdered on-screen, Argento’s use of color, the Turin locations, and consistently praises his approach to actors.
16 Years in Red (46:41, 4K) – Production manager Angelo Iacono speaks at length about his multiple collaborations with Argento and their longstanding, ongoing friendship, placing the most emphasis on Deep Red.
Death Dies (14:47, 4K) – Goblin keyboardist and composer Claudio Simonetti chats about his early life and training as a musician, the forming of Goblin, moving to London after recording a demo, returning to Italy and hooking up with Argento to replace Giorgio Gaslin, recording music for Deep Red, Suspiria, and the Italian release of Dawn of the Dead (1978), and continuing work with Argento after Goblin had dissolved and reformed over the decades.
Carlo Never Dies (15:32, 4K) – Actor Gabriele Lavia (Carlo, naturally) discusses being cast in Deep Red, how well the film stood up when he rewatched it, struggling to act in English while already physically tired from his day job playing a knight in shining armor on TV, acting alongside David Hemmings, being asked to trust a stunt driver not to run over his head, and the ways Argento and Nicolodi’s budding relationship affected the film for the better.
I am the Screaming Child (7:43, 4K) – A quick interview with actor Jacopo Mariani (Young Carlo), who recalls his career as a child actor on Deep Red and Suspiria.
Bloodstained (5:28, 4K) – In the final new interview, actor Lino Capolicchio talks about being Argento’s first choice for the lead role that eventually went to Hemmings.
