Summary: |
Cult Epics is proud to present DEATH LAID AN EGG (1968), directed by auteur filmmaker Giulio Questi (DJANGO KILL!, ARCANA) and starring legendary leading man Jean-Louis Trintignant (THE CONFORMIST) as a married man and suspected serial killer, Gina Lollobrigida (BEAT THE DEVIL) as his delectable yet overly domineering careerist wife, and Swedish blonde bombshell Ewa Aulin (CANDY) as his murderous double-crossing mistress in this mystery thriller.
DEATH LAID AN EGG is an avant-garde giallo that is more pertinent today than when it was first released in terms of its quite modern depiction of the battle of the sexes and the perils of technology. This Special Edition includes the Director’s cut, alongside the alternate International giallo “Plucked” version, both in fully restored 2K HD transfers, with completely new bonus features and limited edition slipcase printed with fluorescent inks to emulate the original theatrical poster.

Reviews:
“A film that defies easy categorization, it veers uneasily between
giallo, drug film, and science-faction, with heavy doses of romance and
Antonioni-like weirdness.” –Robert Firsching, - AllMovie.com
“One of the most unusual artifacts of its culture and its time… the
kind of dirty, nasty, but strangely brilliant sui generis film that
exists, for whatever reason, only in particular nooks and crannies of
cinematic consciousness…” Glen Kenny, Mubi
