“One of Argento’s most suspenseful efforts.”
—The Village Voice

“Full of slick visual conceits and glossy set-pieces.”
—Monthly Film Bulletin

“Argento at his chilling best.”
—The New York Times

A prog rock drummer is framed and blackmailed for a murder he did not commit. As he enlists the help of a swishy gay detective to find out who’s responsible, the real killer begins bumping off those around him one by one. The final (and least seen) film in Dario Argento’s so-called Animal Trilogy, FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET is a stylish tour de force of gruesome violence, twisty giallo plotting, and even more twisted up gender and sexuality. Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
