description
Previously released on LP by Cinevox in 1968, premiere release of this challenging avant-garde soundtrack by Bruno Maderna who only scored a handful of films in the 50s and 60s.
However, this one has the ability to haunt you forever.
Quirky stuff indeed, a perfect companion to the equally weird film by Giulio Questi, Maderna's contribution to the film cannot be overestimated.

The disc itself offers the original LP in full stereo as well as 10 previously unheard bonus tracks in mono, all in all 54 minutes of very uneasy listening carefully restored by Claudio Fuiano.
Overall the music on this disc can be eerily, and vividly, epitomized by a line of dialog from the film:
Take them by surprise with an approach that's absolutely new, that's newer than tomorrow, preposterously new!

Bruno Maderna's score perfectly captures the films paranoia atmosphere with its dissonant tones and bizarre arrangements
(Michael Den Boer, 10,000 Bullets)

... A crazed musical score from Bruno Maderna, this composer's mix of woozy strings and discordant jazz guitar is guaranteed to make you edgy and nervous
(Don Guarisco, DVD Maniacs)

... Bruno Maderna's bizarre score, which somehow manages to be incredibly annoying and completely appropriate at the same time
(Michael Mackenzie, DVD Times)

The avant-garde Bruno Maderna score is violent and nerve-wracking
(Chris Fujiwara/A. S. Hamrah, Hermenaut)

Bruno Maderna's score is akin to the sound of chalk screeching across a blackboard
(Robert Monell, I'm In a Jess Franco State of Mind)

 
story
This is a deliriously strange thriller about a scientist (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who is breeding headless, boneless chickens at a high-tech farm.
He's having an affair with Ewa Aulin, who is plotting with him to kill his wife (Gina Lollobrigida) ... and she's plotting with Aulin to kill him ... and he and Lollobrigida are plotting ... oh, it's too confusing, but extremely memorable.
The bizarre, only semi-linear editing and trippy cinematographic techniques are artifacts of the psychedelic era and combine with the twisted story to make any Euro-cultist's dreams come true.
A film that defies easy categorization, it veers uneasily between giallo, drug film, and science-fiction, with heavy doses of romance and Antonioni-like weirdness.
Some parts are even reminiscent of David Lynch's Eraserhead.
Aulin was in the even stranger Microscopic Liquid Subway to Oblivion a few years later.
A must-see for genre fans.

Cast:
Vittorio Andrè, Ewa Aulin, Giulio Donnini, Gina Lollobrigida, Monica Millesi, Jean Sobieski, Jean-louis Trintignant
