Stiletto (1981): cast, story & where to watch
1981 · Film
Released in 1981, Stiletto is a drama and crime film directed by Melvie Arslanian, running about 48 minutes.
What it’s about. A woman, Nadja, searches for her sister's murderer. This search goes through differing moments of reality, or unreality, that overlap within facets of a broken-up time sense. In this emulation of film noir, the investigative structure does not create suspense; the dialectic murderer/victim does not exist. The crime is fabricated bit by bit, like the staging of a spectacle, and it is in the traditional tools of seduction (the spiked heels) that the weapons will be hidden. Ultimately, the crime Nadja achieves makes her neither a triumphant heroine nor a victim.
Who’s in it. Stiletto stars Amos Poe, Tina L'Hotsky, Martine Martin and Tim Elliott, among others.
