The town of Clerville is the main backdrop to the misdeeds of the elusive thief Diabolik, a master of crime and an unprecedented strategic genius. Nobody knows what he looks like or who he really is.

The only one capable of standing up to him is the shrewd Inspector Ginko, but the meeting between the scoundrel and the splendid and daring Eva Kant will change the cards on the table.


Taken from the first famous Italian black comic, the feature film presents itself as a gigantic tribute to the work of the Giussani sisters, honoring the typical language of the ninth art.

This can be seen as both an advantage and a flaw. The acting is decidedly over the top and the narrative choices are borderline credible. However, this film proves to be a pure example of all-Italian comic book cinema, which remains faithful to the work of origin and adds an almost superheroic context to the film production of our country.

Forget the extreme realism of recent years and enjoy a noir story while exercising a good dose of suspension of disbelief.


The Casting Director's choice to use the crazy antagonist of Jeeg Robot (a film that owes a lot to the world of comics), here transformed into a cold antihero, accompanied by a female co-protagonist who to define Perfect is to use a euphemism, is very beautiful.

Miriam marry me.
