Beast of Burden
This is why I like gialli -- I don't have to worry about following the plots too closely as the each "plot device" is usually an absurd or nonsensical red herring, curveball, arresting image or elaborate setpiece. I sometimes wonder if it's a case of "alright, my brain can cope with that" or that the Italians have fatally softened my neocortal tissue.
