Confessions of a Sex Maniac

This is really a very straightforward and trashy movie. However, it is actually the best giallo thriller I have seen in a long time in terms of entertainment. The best thing about this movie is that the audience is not so easily able to guess the identity of the perpetrator because of the sheer number of suspects the movie throws up, just like in any proper crime drama. Furthermore, the iconic look of the killer’s appearance is very cool. I definitely recommend this movie to true aficionados of this particular subgenre, although you should be aware that the original Italian title Rivelazioni di un maniaco sessuale al capo della squadra mobile is basically a spoiler if you translate it literally.

Don’t let yourself be repelled by the first, ridiculously theatrical murder on the beach. There is three times more nudity than killing in this cute giallo. And that’s just as well, because all of the ladies and their faces, hairstyles and breasts are beautiful. The icing on the cake is the film’s messaging, which is enchantingly incorrect by today’s standards. Of course, don’t expect suspense and seriousness like from Argento. (16.10.2021)
