Schnitzer Cinema: Danger Diabolik

Come enjoy a full bill of superhero cinema each month. Richard Herskowitz, film curator, Houston Cinema Arts Society, and faculty, UO Arts and Administration, has unearthed three rarely screened but artistically exciting superhero feature films, to be preceded each week by a classic Max Fleischer Superman cartoon and a surprise short subject.

Danger: Diabolik, a neglected 1960s classic by Italian director Mario Bava may be the best superhero (actually, supervillain) film ever made. Its translation of comic book aesthetics to cinema, as comics artist Stephen Bissette has argued, has never been bettered. John Phillip Law plays the masked thief who steals and torments the Italian government, represented by the policeman Ginko (Michel Piccoli). The excellent score is by Ennio Morricone.
