“Il Diavolo nel Cervello” (Devil in the brain) is a film directed in 1971 by Sergio Sollima and screened at the beginning of the following year; it’s a psychological thriller in which tension is determined by the characters’ psyche more than their actions, and is therefore an atypical product, that was offered to an audience who at the time were mostly into the ‘Dario Argento suspence’, made of serial killers, ferocious murders and a pinch of erotism.
After three movies in the ‘spaghetti western’ genre and the noir “Città violenta” Sollima then decided to make something unpredictable, and paid the consequences of his resolution: his film went almost unnoticed, and it’s been reevaluated just today, together with the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, who already scored Sollima’s previous works.
