Review of What Have You Done to Solange? (1972) by Carlos L — 15 Aug 2010
The Italian "giallo" genre, named after the lurid yellow covers of sleazy detective novels, has a loyal and vocal following. Titles such as "Don't Torture a Duckling", "My Dear Killer" and "What Have You Done to Our Daughters?" stir up exactly the images of sex, violence and perversion that are completely accurate.
"Whatever Happened to Solange" is absolutely one of the best of the genre, a po-faced, slick n sleazy whodunnit focussing on an all-girls school whose pupils are getting picked off one by one by the quintessential masked killer with a seeming hatred of female reproductive organs.
Beautifully filmed with a haunting score by Ennio Morricone, if you're going to dive into this pretty dodgy genre, "Solange" is a great place to start. Be warned - it's a stagnant pool to wade around in though.
