Film aesthetic appreciation post: Mill of the Stone Women

If you liked House of Wax (1953) and Giallo horror films, see Mill of the Stone Women (1960), famed for being the first Italian movie that was filmed in color. 

And boy, did they know how to use color in this one, with rich, painting-like image composition, beautiful costume design, luxuriant textures, and dramatic lighting. Aesthetic is king.

(image spoilers ahead)

The pacing on this one is a bit slow at times, but its imagery is so moodily evocative that you won't care. See this.
