Dario Argento An eye for Horror
2000
Image Entertainment DVD
I have been an Argento fan for close to 20 years now. I found out about him and his films thanks to Chas Balun's Deep Red magazine. Over the years I have tracked down and seen most of his films.
This sadly is a very short,under an hour,documentary about Dario.While it is well done,parts of it feel rushed. With how many films Dario had done by 2000 this documentary should have been at least 2 hours long. Now I want to say I heard that Dario can speak English. But anytime in this documentary he is interviewed he is speaking Italian. Really the best parts are the segments with his daughter. Asia Argento offers some nice insights into her father's mind. And without these parts the documentary wouldn't be worth watching. Dario Argento An Eye for Horror gets a D-.
