Fragments Of Fear Episode 14: The Double (1971) Simon Fitzjohn December 8, 2020 Features, Fragments of Fear, Podcasts 3277 In the latest episode of Fragments of Fear, Rachael and Peter take a moment to mark the tragic passing of Daria Nicolodi; discussing her legacy and contribution to Italian cult cinema before moving on to this month’s discussion of Romolo Guerrieri’s 1971 giallo, The Double. In their examination of this experimental giallo,they explore the film’s literary origins, Guerrieri’s work as a director and the film’s inventive narrative structure whilst also taking a look at its thematic concerns from sexual politics, the crisis of masculinity and post sixties counter culture. Having seen this one myself, I can definitely give the film a thumbs-up, so it is great to get the duo’s insightful take.
