The 10th Victim 03/22/25

This is the movie with the spiky bra that doubles as a gun. Pop Art meets progressive social Sci-fi in a wicked satire about a future where wars are replaced with an organized murder game. Contestants alternate the role of hunter or victim; the goal is to score ten kills. Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress are celebrity players, angling to consummate their kills on live TV, to tie in with sponsors’ commercials. The prophetic Reality Show vibe is hard to miss. Taken from a famous Robert Sheckley short story, director Elio Petri gives everything a high-fashion look. Piero Piccioni provides the quirky music score. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
