Italian production-designer–turned-director Piero Zuffi made this bizarre film set in the seedy underbelly of '70s New York City: Off-Broadway productions, hippie communities, S&M bars and bike gangs. The story follows a serial killer on the loose and an investigator looking into an heiress’ kidnapping. With the help of editor Franco Arcalli, the movie was reconfigured into an effective fever dream with a non-linear structure. The wonderful kaleidoscope of psychedelic oddness favors Piero Piccioni’s score with jazz roots and strong percussion work.
