<div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>This screening will feature a pre-recorded introduction from director Edgar Wright.&nbsp;</b></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Based on Milanese sisters <b>Angela and Luciana Giussani’s</b> iconic popular 1960s comic, <i>Danger: Diabolik</i> is a stylish cult classic riffing off the Bond phenomenon, now newly restored.&nbsp;</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Legendary Italian producer <b>Dino De Laurentiis </b>employed celebrated craftsman of Italian giallo <b>Mario Bava</b>, who brought his distinctive colourful visual style and technical ingenuity to the project. Throw in <b>Ennio Morricone’s</b> wildly experimental score, which combines elements of psychedelia, disco, funk, free jazz, and rock opera, and you have a Pop Art masterpiece. Whilst the film suffered by comparison to De Laurentiis’ <i>Barbarella</i>, it has since become a cult classic for its wonderfully inventive Pop Art visual conceits, with musicians like Fatboy Slim and the Beastie Boys borrowing its campy spy-fi aesthetics.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Screening as part of our Cinema Rediscovered: Comics Come Alive season.&nbsp;</div>ActionPT1H44M122026-08-01
