The Perfume Of The Lady In Black (1974) ****

Trauma, hallucinations, gaslighting, cabals. Francesco Barilli's The Perfume Of The Lady In Black (1974) hit me a lot harder on this rewatch. Mimsy Farmer is stunningly beautiful and plays unhinged exceptionally well. The cinematography and production design is sumptuous. The score is wonderfully melancholic. A somber and singular giallo (more of a psychological thriller).

Recommended for fans of Rosemary's Baby (1968) (review), Repulsion (1965), and Short Night Of Glass Dolls (1971) (review).
