Argento's First Film Giallo Style with a Hint of Hitchcock.
"Bird with the Crystal Plummage" is the first film by Dario Argento after working on various spaghetti westerns scripts like "Once Upon A Time in the West". This movie, however, is not as popular as his other films like Tenebre, Suspiria, or Deep Red, but has a very enriched dialogue and plot-line. I like it more than his other movies of the "Animal Trilogy" (Four Flies on Grey Velvet or Cat O'Nine Tails) because it has good speed. I usually fall asleep during Cat O'Nine Tails repeatedly, but Bird definitely doesn't loose the pace. I like this film for it's Hitchcock influence and giallo style soaked with good camera angles and shot. Also, you can't beat the Black-gloved killer!
