...hanno cambiato faccia
by Corrado Farina (1971)
"il terrore, oggi, si chiama tecnologia"

I discovered this title only a few days ago. Totally enjoyed it. 'They Have Changed Their Face' as title for English audience.
I always felt fascinated by Adolfo Celi acting, especially in those movies where he was portrayal of the villainous. This time, Giovanni Nosferatu. Can't tag it 'horror movie', it's more of a 'Italian 1970's gothic movie', mixed with an anti-capitalistic feel. Loved that.
Written, directed and filmed by Corrado Farina, his debut, - he also plays a cameo presenting LSD spray can, - and I won't spend any word about the plot. "The screenplay of They Have Changed Their Face was written by Giulio Berruta and director Corrado Farina. They were influenced by German philosopher Herbert Marcuse, specifically his book One-Dimensional Man (1964), a critique of capitalism and communist Russia which provided the film with its thesis that consumerism is a form of social control" [wiki], not for nothing, it ends with Marcuse's quote, 'terror, today, is called technology': kinda quite contemporary. A total fun to see minute white Fiat 500 cars used as vehicles of fear. Of course I thought of Giovanni Nosferatu as a transposition of Giov.. Gianni Agnelli, actually the master of masters.. Italian industrialist and principal shareholder of Fiat..
There is an interesting interview from 2015 with Farina where he speaks about the movie with Michael Guarneri, where he also talks about a former vampyres short movie he filmed, Il figlio di Dracula ('Mr. Dracula Jr.'), shot in 8mm, tinted with a slightly comic cut ("may grandfather Satan help you!").
As Farina states during the interview, ''..hanno cambiato faccia is an ‘unconsciously 1968' film''. there's some Godard, some Fellini and last but not least a sip of sexploitation.
Enjoy it on YT, for free.
