Giulio Questi's bizarre 1968 giallo La morte ha fatto l'uovo ("Death Laid An Egg") boasted the star power of sex symbol Gina Lollobrigida (John Huston's Beat the Devil) and art film favorite Jean-Louis Trintignant from Successive Slidings of Pleasure. It also featured beauty contest winner Ewa Aulin, soon to have the starring role in a poorly received film adaptation of the once-banned sex spoof Candy. The capable cast gamely approach Questi and Franco (Last Tango in Paris) Arcalli's surreal script involving sexualized serial killings and genetically-bred headless chickens. Fans of Questi's vicious 1967 western Se sei vivo spara ("Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!") may be confused but will not be surprised by this disjointed, ultra-kinky satire of the industrial class.
