Both
Amer and
The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears are a homage to gialli, instead being composed of a series of cutaways, edits, dream sequences and images homaging some of the giallo sub-genre's most famous tropes (colour, sound, lighting, sex, death, black gloves, straight razors etc.). Both have linear narratives (sort of) but they're buried beneath a multi-layered entanglement of visual and aural delights. I enjoyed both (I only watched
Strange Colour the other night) but they're certainly not for everyone and you may be disappointed - especially if you go in expecting a giallo.
We promoted
Amer on here quite extensively when Anchor Bay / Starz released it in the UK so there should be some old threads knocking about somewhere.
