Synopsis
What Have You Done to Solange? (1972) centers on a teacher who becomes a prime suspect after a student witnesses the murder of one of her classmates during their secret rendezvous. As more young women are killed while police investigations, hidden relationships, and long-buried secrets reveal disturbing connections among the victims, he launches his own search for the truth. This Italian-West German giallo thriller examines guilt and trauma within a world where sexual repression and buried secrets conceal a horrifying past, as mystery, violence, and psychological suspense converge through a series of shocking murders.
Criticism
-
It’s a sort of plot I associate with the American writer Cornell Woolwich, William Irish in Europe, where a bunch of people are guilty of something and they’re killed off one-by-one by a grudge holder. The mystery isn’t so much who the killer is but what the connection between the victims is and what their shared crime is, which is why the title is addressed to them rather than to the murderer.
