"All the Colors of the Dark" (Italian: "Tutti i colori del buio") is an Italian giallo film directed by Martino (1972).
You will love this or hate it. But if you’re a friend of so called “giallo” films, this is a must see❣️
Jane Harrison (Edwige Fenech) is traumatized, she has lost a baby and is seeing nightmares - interestingly “incubi” in Italian language - and is anxious. She seeks help for a sexual dysfunction and nightmares from a psychoanalyst but ends up choosing help from a black mass, on the recommendation of her neighbor.
Needless to say how this results. The plot itself is silly, but film is quite mesmerizing.
Like usually in giallo, this one is a combination violence, eroticism, and psychological terror. Giallo films are known for their distinctive visual style, which includes vibrant cinematography, stylized lighting, and creative camera work.
Witchcraft in the film has a satan worshipping -nature and it in many places resembles the Polanski’s Rosemary's Baby (perhaps even more the Repulsion). On the other hand it is like Buñuel‘s Belle de Jour.
Very voyeuristic film in a Russ Meyer manner, but I wouldn’t say that there is purely “male gaze” setting, because this isn’t a Hollywood flick and there is a hint of feminism involved.
The film tackles themes of paranoia, trauma, and the blurred lines between reality and illusion.
