Giallo

Giallo is a 2009 thriller directed by Dario Argento. The film, set in Turin, Italy, follows French flight attendant Linda and Italian-American detective Enzo Avolfi, who team up to find Linda's younger sister Celine. Celine, a model, has been abducted by a serial killer. Known only as "Yellow" , he kidnaps beautiful foreign women in his unlicensed taxi cab. After drugging them, the killer proceeds to mutilate and finally murder them. He photographs his deeds so that the photos may grant him personal sexual gratification. The film ends with Enzo and Giallo having a shootout in a hotel. Giallo... tries to escape, but falls from a skylight to the floor of the lobby, killing him instantly. The police search his apartment for Celine, but cannot find her. By chance, while patrolling a car park, a policeman hears Celine as she tries to gain his attention, tied up and gagged in the trunk of Giallo's car. Argento said in an interview that he dislikes the producers' cut of the film and that he no longer is attached to the project. Giallo premiered at the 2009 Edinburgh International Film Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
