   Amer (2009) - Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani.

   To be released on DVD and Blu-ray by Anchor Bay on January 31st, Amer is Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s deliciously formidable inaugural feature and open homage to cult Italian horror genre, giallo. 

   This near dialogue-free French/Belgian giallo extraordinaire a - triptych tale of Ana amid the lust and violence that shapes her - shows its devotion to its generic procreators with more than enough aplomb to seamlessly anchor it in French art-house cinema.

   Frankly, a staggering first feature and nothing less than essential viewing for fans of giallo and art-house alike, or, for the virgin masses, an intoxicating cinematic opiate that will leave you seeking out your erstwhile fix.
