What The Fifth Cord Is About
The Fifth Cord marks the first collaboration between director Luigi Bazzoni and his cousin, cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, who used windows, mirrors, and blinds to frame the film and heighten its themes of entrapment, along with first person shots that align the audience with the killer's point of view. Storaro had shot Dario Argento's The Bird with the Crystal Plumage shortly before this film, and would go on to shoot Apocalypse Now, one of the milestones of his career. The score was composed by Ennio Morricone. Who it's for: anyone curious about an Italian thriller from early in Vittorio Storaro's career, developing the visual language distinctive to giallo cinema. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a plain, undecorated visual style, since the film relies deliberately on complex framing.
