Adrien Brody opened up a bit about his role in Dario Argento’s GIALLO to Independent Film Quarterly (helpfully compiled by Fangoria), touching on his character and what it’s like working alongside his real-life girlfriend..
“I play [Detective] Enzo Avolfi, a man who saw his mother murdered at a very young age. His desire for vengeance materialized into an obsession with hunting down pattern killers and delivering justice. The story begins amidst an ongoing investigation of repeated slayings of beautiful young women.”
One making sure Argento doesn’t have his way with his main squeeze Elsa Pataky: “The role of Celine, a fashion model who is abducted, was first offered to my girlfriend… It’s a very challenging role as the character is put through terrible torture. My initial interest to come on board creatively stemmed from a sincere desire to make sure she was safe. What’s interesting is that by playing the detective in the film, the motivation of my character is also to protect her from harm. That being said, it was also a chance to work with the legendary master of Italian horror films. He’s one of the greatest.”
