If they didn’t, they ought to have. It pays to advertise!

Somehow Dublin doesn’t quite provide the Eurotrash glamour a giallo needs: some aspect of the setting keeps dragging it down to earth. But the contrast, and the intrusion of bouts of aggressive swearing, make for amusing viewing.

“Following the closure of the laundry, at least until the early 1987 the laundry chimney was emblazoned with a large white swastika that could be seen from many places in the surrounding area…”

This makes the RIP on the mortuary rooftop in Cavalcanti’s “They Made Me A Fugitive” appear significantly less surrealist/heavy-handed than I’d previously thought….
