Raro Video are preparing a brand new Blu-ray release of Francesco Barilli's thriller
The Perfume of the Lady in Black (1974), starring Mimsy Farmer, Maurizio Bonuglia, Mario Scaccia, Jho Jhenkins, and Nike Arrighi. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on November 7.
Description: Director Francesco Barilli's hallucinatory giallo horror-thriller stars Mimsy Farmer who portrays Sylvia, a chemist who begins to suffer from strange visions; a mysterious woman in black applying perfume in a mirror appears to her and strangers follow her everywhere she goes. Barilli's psychological investigation into the workings of the mind becomes apparent when it is revealed that as a child, Sylvia committed a horrible crime. The slow progression from successful scientist to a woman on the verge of insanity shows an in-depth look at the intricacies of the haunted mind. This is a remarkable film, weaving reality, fantasy and memory into an almost seamless fabric.
