Description
Italian filmmaker Dario Argento's horror films have been described as a blend of Alfred Hitchcock and George Romero—psychologically rich, colourful, and at times garish. They excel at taking the best elements of the splatter and exploitation genres and laying them over a dark undercurrent of human emotions and psyches.
Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds dissects such Argento cult films as Two Evil Eyes, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Suspiria, and Deep Red. It includes a new introduction discussing Argento's most recent films, from The Stendahl Syndrome to Mother of Tears, an updated filmography, and an interview with Argento.
