A lot of Argento's stuff is waaaaaay out there, but I'm happy to report this isn't one of them. It's really a noir film about a guy who is already out of place finding himself in decidedly the wrong place. Argento does some phenomenal things with the camera though, including a vertigo-inducing shot looking up the middle of a multi-floor staircase. Even if you dislike Argento's weird work, Bird is a rare exception to the rule, and has been available uncut for years (though the initial cut of the work only trimmed about 20 seconds of footage total, so you weren't missing much). :)
