Dario Argento never falls short for me. I was told over and over by some Argento fans that Stendhal Syndrome would be the first Argento film to disappoint me. They were all wrong. I really enjoyed "Stendhal Syndrome". It was Argento's return to artistic violence to make beauty out of the ugliness of crime. I also thought the plot was very interesting. While some people may think this film's point was only to set up an amazing twist, I think they are wrong. I believe in all honesty that Argento did not want your chin to hit the floor at the end because of the twist. I think Argento wanted your jaw to drop because of the complete twist on persona. Not the actual plot twist, but the personality twist. In all honesty about 20 minutes before the plot twist, most people can probably figure out where it is going. Asia Argento gives an amazing performance as the victim in this modern masterpiece written and directed by her father. If nothing else is obvious after you see this beautiful film, Dario Argento's ongoing vision for beauty should be!
