Description

This limited edition love letter to Lucio Fulci’s A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971) first contextualises the film, looking at contemporary projects, genres and filmmakers, before looking more closely at Lizard itself: its key themes, aesthetics and developments. Its proximity to the giallo genre, its reactions to youth culture and the hippy movement, its relationship with art and its treatment of the theme of medicine are all explored here.

Printed in full colour with some incredible imagery across 104 pages.

“A wonderful production…If there ever was a film that deserved this kind of in-depth treatment, Lizard is definitely it.” – Pete Tombs, Mondo Macabro

“A thoroughly engrossing deep dive that dissects not just the film but the sociocultural backdrop from which it emerged. Absolutely stellar!” – Michael Mackenzie, author of Women Who Kill, The Shadow Men and In The Silence and senior producer for Arrow Films
