It's amazing how I've found a kindred spirit in terms of cinema. I also speak French (learnt it thanks to Canadian schools and their French Immersion programs from Elementary school onwards), and I understand some Italian given the similarities to French, but am not yet fluent, hoping to be one day however. I know about krimis, although I haven't watched any, and Bava is a phenomenal horror director (Blood and Black Lace is a stunning film, it showcases his immense visual flair; little surprise given his repute as a cinematographer), and I have watched Girl in Room 2A, which I found to be a guilty indulgence in rather silly mediocrity. Regarding Fabio Testi's performance in "What Have You Done to Solange", I think you'll be pleased to hear that he appears alongside Romy Schneider in the aforementioned film, as the young photographer who falls in love with her. Both make a fine couple, beautiful as they are.
