Libido Limited Edition Blu-ray presents a haunting proto-giallo that blends gothic atmosphere, psychological tension and erotic obsession into a striking early work from Ernesto Gastaldi.

Returning to the site of a traumatic childhood memory, a young man is drawn back into a world of repression, desire and lingering violence. As past and present begin to intertwine, paranoia sets in and trust erodes, leaving him questioning both his sanity and the intentions of those around him. The film’s unsettling tone and layered narrative anticipate many of the themes that would later define the giallo genre.

Directed by Ernesto Gastaldi and co-written by Mara Maryl, Libido stands as a distinctive and influential entry in Italian genre cinema, presented here in a newly restored edition.
