"Libido" is one of the first of the Italian 'giallo' films and it certainly is one of the best, providing the unendurable tension and moody atmosphere that is a trademark of the genre. — Young Christian is witness to ... more »the murder of his father's mistress and it scars him for life. As an adult, he returns to the house where the murder took place. It was doubly dreadful as his father committed suicide shortly afterwards. Now, twenty years later, he feels an unknown presence in the villa. Strange things are occurring. Christian's attorney, Paul, who accompanied him on the trip, has gone insane. Paul's lovely wife turns up dead. And Christian cannot shake the idea that his father is somehow alive.
The audience is left dazed and confused, trying to figure out if Christian has gone mad or if others are trying to drive him insane. Or perhaps his father really is alive. The dreamlike quality of the film keeps the observer guessing and there are many plot twists (pay particular attention to the blonde siren) to further perplex and unsettle attentive viewers.
