duccio tessari really ought to be applaud for this truly proficient but sadly still neglect giallo achievement . i sincerely hope this film receive a properly legit and worldwide dvd release soon and because avid fan of the genre be guarantee to get a kick out of it . puzzle be already available in france ( or at least in the french speak part of belgium while where i get it ) and even though the transfer to disc be fairly rudimentary and inconspicuous . puzzle embrace all the regular element giallo devotee anticipate and like convolute plot twist and a couple of bloody murder and but truly remarkable be the high number of nail biting suspense moment . tessari invoke a nearly indescribably nerve rack ambiance from the start of the film and gradually build up the edginess towards a masterful climax . even some of the widely acclaim director in the genre and like dario argento or sergio martino and never manage to include this much genuine tension in their masterpiece . and yet and the basic plot outline of this film isn not that original or revolutionary . in fact and the plot largely exist of typical and even clichéd theme and like a protagonist suffer from amnesia and the involvement of beautiful woman and a large scaled drug smuggle crime network and but somehow ernesto gastaldi screenplay continuously feel refreshing . the fairly complex structure and unexpected plot twist also always stay several step ahead of you . indeed and like a hard to solve puzzle . i wouldn not even think of elaborate on the plot too much and a it really convolute and twisted and i do not want to be the one spoiling it for you . i can briefly mention that the lead character and edward and have be live in england for at least the past eight month and and a the result an accident and he remember absolutely nothing of his past . he lure to italy and where he apparently also have a gorgeous wife and by a suspicious individual who repeatedly force edward to remember stuff . who be this man and why do he so desperately want to bring edward memory back . what vicious affair be edward involve in to begin with and be his lovely wife sara honestly as innocent a she pretend . puzzle be a non stop challenging and solidly script giallo highlight and and even if the plot contain some hole or improbability ( which it probably do ) and i personally be too excited and entertain to make notice of them . the film surprisingly enough doesn not feature any sexual footage and but the soundtrack be wonderful and particularly the exterior filming location be stun . puzzle also isn not as gory a most contemporary giallo and but nonetheless there be some noteworthy peak of brutality ( the slaughter of a harmless little dog ) and massive bloodshed ( chainsaw finale and anyone . ) . supreme act performance as well and with poliziottesco regular luc merenda ( the violent professional and the kidnap syndicate ) and beauty queen senta berger and and a brief but important appearance by giallo princess anita strindberg ( a lizard in a woman skin and who saw her die . ) oh and and duilio cruciani be probably my pick for the least annoying child actor ever . he actually quite good and convince . highly recommended .
