"This is an intriguing Italian mystery from the 1970s. In it a woman awakes to find that she has been missing for three days and has lost her job. She has no memory of that lost time and the only clues are a torn up postcard from a small island resort town and a recurring dream about an old science fiction movie.
This is not a thriller or a horror movie. It plays out as languid fever dream, as she goes to the island to investigate. This is often referred to as a Giallo and the emphasis on tone and vibe over plot is there, even if many of the other hallmarks are not. Most modern audiences would find this film slow and too loosely plotted but it worked for me, all the way through its unconventional finale.
