If it comes across that way then it wasnt meant to!  Lets hope he can turn his hand to one more magical film. I would think he has a quite solid fanbase that will not grow massively no matter what he turns out, so why not go back to basics and make a retro giallo with trademark lighting, a good twist and some rollercoaster camerwork. Bread and butter but a crowd pleaser Im sure.  |
I see what you mean now, but your initial post mentioned Argento and crappy B-movies. Yes, most of us love both, but it's strange to see them mentioned in the same breath!
Like you, I think it's extremely sad to see what happened to Argento and how the artistic flair and magnificent camerawork which were features of his earlier films have all but disappeared.
