A devilish treat programmed by directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani ahead of screening their newest film Reflection in a Dead Diamond
Forget James Bond and open your heart to Diabolik: a master thief who conquers the underworld in tight latex. Accompanied by his girlfriend Eva Kant and armed with an arsenal of high-tech gadgets, this suave super-criminal plans a series of stunning heists that leave many a law enforcement officer eating their hat. When his eye falls on a substantial hoard of gold, however, our anti-hero faces a challenge that pushes his cunning to the limit.
It comes as no surprise that Danger: Diabolik sprang from the mind of giallo master Mario Bava. Based on Italian comic books and silent-era villains such as Fantomas and Irma Vep, the film is Bava’s ode to the poetry of pulp. Danger: Diabolik strings together a series of stylistic sensations that will make your eyes pop with visual fireworks. Like a pop art explosion, the film blazes with psychedelic visuals and absurdist daring, all set to a roaring pop soundtrack by Ennio Morricone.
