Art of Darkness
The Cinema of Dario Argento
Description:... An engaging, incisive, fresh perspective in the ongoing Argento debate, laying an emphasis on context and association through a series of essays on the intricate web of ideas and images which lie beyond the surface of the screen - from the belief system of the alchemists to Edgar Allan Poe - a real exploration of the eclectic mass of cultural and artistic connections which litter the interior of the director's Gothic world. In addition to its core analytical content, this volume boasts an extensive reviews section, covering every film produced or directed by Argento. And, needless to say, this beautiful large-format book is lavishly illustrated in full-color, with rare stills and poster artwork - over 500 illustrations, with 96 pages of full-color.
