I don't actually think he could afford one, the lack of budget is apparent but it's still fun if you can see past that

Tenebre. 1982. Another Argento masterpiece brought to us in 4K, this was certainly worth the price I paid for it, Sound, picture quality is pure bliss even with Veronica Lario painting the wall red. maxresdefault (3).jpg

Argento made a London appearance this weekend (at a Frightfest screening of Dark Glasses). He said that he starts shooting another film in Paris, early next year. He also said the project was very dark and would be a remake of a 1940's Mexican film. No title reveal yet.

There is a Dario Argento season at the BFI Southbank during May "Dario Argento: Doors Into Darkness Throughout his career, Dario Argento has frequently been dubbed ‘the Italian Hitchcock’. But in truth, there is no other filmmaker quite like Argento. The connection is understandable. Hitchcock wasn’t just a filmmaker, he was a brand. You think suspense, you think Hitchcock. So, when Argento appeared with his uniquely baroque take on the whodunit, what better way to make sense of this prodigious new talent than compare him to the master. Of course, they do share many similarities, not least a proclivity for murder, but it’s the deeper difference that ultimately sets them apart – Hitchcock’s is the cinema of details and discipline, Argento’s is of dreams and disorientation. The textures, tones and reverberations of Argento’s visions are so evocative, the mere mention of his name can transport you to a psychotropic German dance academy, or send you soaring over a brutalist apartment building in the dead of night. After more than 50 years crafting a body of work so distinctive and singular, comparisons are no longer necessary. If there is one filmmaker whose name speaks for itself, it’s Dario Argento."

I finally watched (not sure why it took so long) Calum Waddell's 90 minute giallo documentary which is on the Arrow/Synapse Tenebre 4K UHD/blu-ray sets. I very much enjoyed it. What did surprise me was how Argento-centric it was, I think maybe almost 50% of it dealt with discussing Dario's work and career, including interviewing the man himself. Not a bad thing for his fans. Would recommend checking it out if you haven't already done so, I'm pleased to have another Argento documentary in the collection.
