Sleepless

After the huge disappointment of Argento's most recent films, "Nonhosonno" is a little surprise in the director's filmography. It's a return to Argento's roots, with a typical serial killer thrilling show. There are in the film a couple of sequences in which the public can recognize the original talent of the artist that gave us such masterpieces as "Deep Red" or "Suspiria", but the main problem with this movie is in some of the actors performances. While Von Sidow, Falk, Lavia and Scalondro are believable and flawless in their roles, Dionisi, Caselli and Zibetti (not to mention Puglisi, Lerici and Marchesini), gave us some of the worst performances ever seen in a motion picture. Some banal dialogs in the screenplay don't help the final results. Argento really needs to work on scripts written by other people, and possibly with a better artistic cast.
