107 - American Giallo Pt. 1: Dressed To Kill / Eyes Of Laura Mars (with Eli Roth)
The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary
Quentin, Roger and guest customer Eli Roth (director of Hostel and Cabin Fever) kick off our first themed series: American Giallo! After outlining their thoughts on the genre, they start with Brian De Palma's Dressed To Kill. A mysterious tall blonde woman wearing sunglasses murders a psychiatrist's patient, and now she's after the prostitute who witnessed it. Quentin, Roger and Eli talk about how the villainous Bobbi affected them, discuss the controversy surrounding the film, and reveal how the story changed from script to screen.
Next, we'll look through Irvin Kershner's Eyes Of Laura Mars. A famous fashion photographer develops a disturbing ability to see through the eyes of a killer. The hosts discuss strange plot devices, read excerpts from interviews that shed light on the true history of the film, and hear how Eli would have rewritten the ending. Tune in next week for the conclusion of this two part episode, with Alice Sweet Alice and Happy Birthday To Me!
