    'A Quiet Place in the Country' (1968) is a skillfully wrought, eerie treatise on madness'
    The canny on-screen pairing of Vanessa Redgrave & Franco 'Django' Nero generates some considerable frisson in this taut, atmospheric Italian chiller. This enigmatic, surreal Giallo is an unwarranted sleeper since 'A Quiet Place in the Country' (1968) is a skilfully wrought, perceptively eerie treatise on madness; with exceedingly robust performances from the two uncommonly attractive leads, assured direction by maestro Elio Petri and a marvellously evocative and uneasy score from Ennio Morricone, ensures that watching this Giallo-Gothic is time well spent. 'A Quiet Place in The Country' sits happily alongside 'Repulsion' & 'The House with Laughing Windows' in terms of macabre mood, eye-popping style and deliciously skewed content. Special mention HAS to be made of the wonderfully Godardian, pop-art title sequence, given considerable pep via Morricone's exquisite avaunt-beatnik grooves!
