The first and only murder mystery to revolve entirely around a farm for mutant chickens, this explosive oddity has become a huge cult favorite. From Giulio Questi, acclaimed director of Django, Kill! (If You Live Shoot!) comes one of the most startling and shocking Italian thrillers ever made. Anna (Gina Lollobrigida) and Marco (Jean-Louis Trintignant) run an automated state-of-the-art facility and develop a strain of boneless, mutant chickens. Marco appears to lead a double life as a serial killer who specializes in stabbing prostitutes to death. When Anna's amorous and alluring cousin Gabri (Ewa Aulin) starts a steamy affair with Marco and discovers his darker side, she plans to murder Anna and frame Marco for the crime. Compellingly crafted, brilliant and bizarre, and arguably the most insanely idiosyncratic giallo ever directed, Death Laid An Egg is a true wayward masterpiece of kaleidoscopic Italian counterculture cinema. (Italy, 1968, 89 mins, English | Dir. Giulio Questi)
