The maestro of horror, the percussionist of jallo, the Italian Hitchcock who inspired the neon noirs of Gaspar Noé and Nicolas Winding Refn. His name is Dario Argento. A black romantic of cinema, he has been gazing into the deep-red abysses of the unconscious for half a century. His core value is freedom. His vocation is the doomed rebellion of the aestheticized loner. His movies are labyrinths of dreams.
"We fall asleep hiding from the unsolvable problems of life. But then we wake up, because our dreams are much worse. They say it's the fantasy world that those who can't stand reality run to. But in the end, it is the real world that exists for those who do not have the courage to live in the realm of fantasy." Slavoj Žižek. The new installment of the series "Séance. Faces" is the first Russian-language monograph devoted to the work of the classic of European cinema Dario Argento. It was written by St. Petersburg film historian Oleg Kovalov. The author explores the key motifs of the director's work and describes bizarre reflections of world culture phenomena in the master's films. The publication is complemented by a selected filmography and bibliography, as well as a digest of interviews with the director.
