Four Flies on Grey Velvet 4K Blu-ray June 1st Release

Four Flies on Grey Velvet is slated for a 4K Blu-ray release this summer by British label Shameless Entertainment, bringing Dario Argento's 1971 cult film to the forefront once again. The film, featuring Mimsy Farmer, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Bud Spencer, Aldo Bufi Landi, and Michael Brandon, is renowned for its intricate blend of psychoanalysis, horror, and Argento's visual flair.

Argento described the film as an autobiographical plunge into his own psyche, where psychoanalysis and Freudian themes take center stage. The narrative follows Michael Brandon's character, Roberto Tobias, a rock musician entangled in a nightmarish scenario after unwittingly becoming involved in a brutal stabbing incident. As the storyline unfolds, Roberto finds himself ensnared in a labyrinth of murders, driven by a single clue—a cryptic image from a victim's retina. This gripping search for the truth takes Roberto through a harrowing journey that veers towards madness.

The film culminates in a visually stunning and emotionally charged finale set against the eeriness of Ennio Morricone's score. Argento’s signature craft of terrifying narratives paired with rich cinematic opulence delivers an unforgettable slow-motion conclusion that has been cherished by genre fans over decades.
