Cani Arrabbiati
* 2023 stock * Mario Bava began production on his crime thriller Cani Arrabbiati (Rabid Dogs) in 1973. Beset by one problem after another, it took nearly a quarter century for the film to get a restored release, long after its director's death in 1980. Even then the film was a shadow of Bava's original intent, existing as a polished work print modified by diverse hands into several variegated forms.
By the early 1970s, Bava's mastery of artistic Italian science fiction and horror films was becom…

Concorde Affaire '79
