DEATH LAID AN EGG: Special Edition (Dir. Giulio Questi, 1968)
Cult Epics is proud to present DEATH LAID AN EGG (1968), directed by auteur filmmaker Giulio Questi (DJANGO KILL!, ARCANA) and starring legendary leading actor 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.

Kenne nur den DC (als UK Blu). Sehr schräger aber nicht unintressanter Film mit Jean-Louis Trintignant und der hübschen Schwedin Ewa Aulin.
