Here's an
Italian thriller from master filmmaker Ruggero Deodato telling the story
of Robert Dominici, a successful classical pianist, whose life turns
'off balance' after the doctors diagnose a lethal age-related disease
which is causing him to grow old at an accelerated rate. Robert only has
a few months to live, but - even worse - someone is beginning to murder
those close to him. Inspector Datti enters the case but is soon baffled
by conflicting clues.
A significant
cast adds luster to Ruggero Deodato's film (it would be Edwige Fenech's
last theatrical performance). Made shortly after CUT
AND RUN and CAMPING
DEL TERROR, it is the director's only excursion into the Giallo.
Of course, he is best known for the seminal masterpiece CANNIBAL
HOLOCAUST. One of the co-stars here, Mapi Galan (Mary Galan) also
made Bruno Mattei's SCALPS
earlier the same year and was a regular for the VALENTINA
television series in 1990.
