LA MOSCA

A late-night phone call is about to change Arthur Browning's life: the incomprehensible murder of his brother Robert, the scientist, disrupts the family's daily life and plunges them into a complex whirlwind of blood, madness, and secrets, where the only clue seems to be connected to a mysterious white fly that escaped from a laboratory. Published in 1957, this short and incisive noir by George Langelaan, masterfully weaving science fiction, horror, and family drama, has inspired directors of the caliber of Kurt Neumann and David Cronenberg to create some of the most significant and disturbing pages of horror cinematography in the second half of the twentieth century.
