Amori pericolosi

About This Movie

So, 'Amori pericolosi' is this intriguing blend of drama and thriller from '64, though the director's name seems to have slipped through the cracks of history. It presents three distinct stories, each with its own vibe - some darker and more intense than others. The first segment has this tension as a maid and her lover plot a grisly end for his wife, but the aftermath isn’t what you’d expect; it’s almost tragic. Then there's 'The Patrol,' which dives into the life of a Foreign Legion soldier who's more interested in a fleeting romance than his duties. The third piece wraps up the anthology in a way that leaves you pondering. It's got a rawness in performances that feels almost personal, and the pacing keeps you engaged, even if the quality varies. Worth a look for its themes of obsession and consequence.

This film has had a somewhat obscure release history, making it a bit of a treasure for those who appreciate lesser-known Italian cinema. Finding a quality copy can be a challenge, as earlier prints have faded over time, so collectors often seek out the best available versions. Its anthology structure offers a varied viewing experience, and that's part of what keeps collectors interested; each segment has something different to offer, even if they don't all hit the mark.
