SORTILEGIO

One of the most mysterious movies of the golden age of Italian cinema, “Sortilegio” is a visionary horror movie directed by Nardo Bonomi, starring Erna Schurer and the famous Italian director Marco Ferreri as a co-star. The movie also featured Corrado Farina (director of the legendary “Baba Yaga”) as assistant director.
As the influential Italian magazine NOCTURNO CINEMA stated some time ago, the movie had never been distributed and is to be considered definitively lost.
Thanks to Four Flies Records’ meticulous research, at least the soundtrack of the movie survives: the original master tapes have been finally recovered and restored, thus to be released for the very first time.
Recorded in Rome at the famous RCA Studios, “Sortilegio” is a dark and esoteric soundtrack composed by SILVANO D’AURIA. The soundtrack casts a fine blend of jazz-funk and prog-rock elements, and features some of the greatest session musicians of those times, like SILVANO CHIMENTI (his fuzzy guitars are unmistakable).
