In May TetroVideo distributes for the first time in physical format and as a world exclusive The knight, death and the devil (Italy - 1983), a dreamy film in the drama-thriller genre written and directed by Beppe Cino (The house of good return).
The film is available in bookbox format (DVD + poster) in Italian with English, French and German subtitles.
The knight, death and the devil is inspired by Double dream by Arthur Schnitzler, a short novel that Stanley Kubrick also drew on for his Eyes Wide Shut.
Nel 1983 quest'opera cinematografica ha partecipato alla 40ª Mostra internazionale d’arte cinematografica di Venezia (sezione “Venezia De Sica”) ed è stata premiata nel 1985 a Roma con la Targa Cinema e Società.
Di ispirazione espressionista, il film è interpretato da Paolo Bonacelli ("Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma" di Pier Paolo Pasolini), Mirella D’Angelo ("Tenebre" di Dario Argento) e Piero Vida ("La corta notte delle bambole di vetro" di Aldo Lado).
The cast also includes Jeanne Mas, Lola Ledda, Danila Caccia, Mattia Machiavelli and Francesco Costa.
The soundtrack is by Ettore de Carolis.
Plot: Monika and daughter Lola meet by chance the mysterious Orlok, a man who leaves them shaken. In contrast, on the other hand, Nicholas, Lola's father, becomes fascinated by the punk Patty, and when he returns home to his family, the three fall into a dark and interminable nightmare.
