Dario Argento's Occhiali Neri aka Dark Glasses

[SymbioticFunction]

I couldn't resist a viewing. My thoughts:

Enjoyed Dark Glasses. My friend thinks it's the best Argento film since Stendhal. Dunno about that but it's easily the best since Card Player. Massive improvement over Giallo and Dracula!! Would need to rewatch to properly assess the film (which I will be doing on Monday, this time with my wife). I was a bit surprised by how bloodless it was, since it had an extremely graphic opening. Lead actress gives excellent performance successfully portraying both strength and vulnerability. Also her relationship with the young boy was quite touching. I can recommend the film. Considering that it was very low budget, I'm quite happy with the end product. And I am really glad that there was English subtitles as there was quite a lot of dialogue! (btw the sole five minute extra doesn't have any).
