Saturday, Apr. 2 - The Perfume of the Lady in Black

The Perfume of the Lady in Black (1974)
Il profumo della signora in nero

Sylvia, an industrial scientist, is troubled by strange hallucinations related to the tragic suicide of her mother. She sees a mysterious woman in black applying perfume in a mirror, strangers following her everywhere she goes, and a ghostly little girl reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, who may be Sylvia herself as a child. It turns out that Sylvia stabbed her mother's sexually abusive boyfriend to death long ago, and now her visions are driving her to madness and cleaver-murders. The other possibility, however, is that literally all of Sylvia's friends are Satanists conspiring to cause her suicide.
