What they share
Theyboth carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red Dragon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Bird with the Crystal Plumage is
Rome. Wet streets, late at night. The shriek of a woman. Sam Dalmas, an expatriate novelist, sees a shadowy figure attacking a woman in an art gallery, but he's trapped between glass doors. The killer, masked, begins hunting him. Argento's debut refines giallo conventions.
