Goddamn this guy has a great eye. A story in the same vein as Eyes of My Mother, this one’s also about a disturbed person whose past trauma affects the way he connects with others. It’s the flashy counterpart to Eyes’ lyrical understatement, & it’s just as beautiful in its own way. The scene in the cab with the lights outside playing on the window was a highlight. Loved the use of Goblin in the score, too. Could Pesce be claiming the killers in giallo classics have the same root as his protagonist? Not sure yet what to make of the use of those miniatures, but they sure looked neat.
