Italian filmmaker Dario Argento presented his new thriller trilogy at the Marché du Film‘s Fantastic Pavilion in Cannes, where he was also honored with the genre hub’s Keys to the Pavilion award.
The famed maestro of giallo cinema, who is attending the festival for the Cannes Classics screening of Giuseppe Patroni Griffi’s 1968 drama “Love Circle,” which he co-penned, presented the three new projects with director Gabriele Altobelli and producer Giovanni Di Gianfrancesco of Rome-based Mattia’s Film.

The event screened the first footage of “Flesh of My Flesh” (“Carne della mia Carne”), which Altobelli is currently shooting near Rome. It tells the story of three mothers investigating the disappearance of a teenage girl, described as “a realistic and unsparing portrait of evil in its most unsettling form: everyday, unsuspected, the evil next door” and a “deliberate departure from Argento’s signature atmospheric horror” that “marks a new register for the maestro’s storytelling.”
