Gatti rossi in un labirinto di vetro (1975)
The video starts with a young redhead in her 20s sitting in a yard during the day, wearing large glasses, freckled face, curly red hair, slim build — looks like a quiet portrait shot. Then it cuts to two older guys in a dim office, both white, one bald with a mustache in suspenders, the other gray-haired and thin, talking like they’re in a meeting. Lighting is flat, office-style. Later, everything shifts hard — nighttime in the same yard, wide shot, the redhead is now running barefoot, no glasses, blood on her arms and legs, totally panicked. Behind her, chasing her, are the two office guys — bald dude in suspenders again, now ripped and muscular, and a blonde guy with a short buzzcut, both in the same clothes but suddenly big and aggressive. The contrast is jarring — they look like regular middle-aged office workers one minute, then like predators in the dark. The whole thing feels like a horror setup: natural daylight scenes vs. gritty night chase, the blood, her screaming silent mouth visible in close-ups. Camera stays wide during the chase, doesn’t zoom, makes it feel more real, like surveillance. No sex, no nudity — just tension, pursuit, and strong visual contrast between the calm portraits and the violent sprint.
