The Fifth Cord - 1971 - 7/10
AKA - Giornata Nera per l’Ariete

From the opening, a disguised voice starts to narrate hoped for murders.
The point-of-view gaze sweeps the swank party.
Participants, soon enough, become victims.
While the police regard a troubled news reporter, he is given a long leash.
Confusing Giallo (like most of them, actually), boasts an unusual style.
Rather than the garish colors, this utilizes reflections, shadows, glass barriers.
