Welcome to the largest site on the internet dedicated to Dario Argento - one of the most stylish and visually imaginative director's alive today. This is not intended to be a sycophantic 'shrine' to him but a place for information and enlightenment and hopefully you will leave knowing more than when you came. There are all sorts of cool things within these pages - reviews, filmographies, biographies, interviews, slideshows, video/audio downloads and a forum. For an attempt at explaining why I like his films, click here

more la terza madre news!
Claudio simonetti has posted on his own forum some information about his score and the film in general:

http://simonetti.forumcommunity.net/?t=6086692

a rough translation is:

* the music is finished and the mixing of the italian and english tracks has just been done

* Simonetti worked almost 4 months on the soundtrack...there are some nods in this music to Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Carl Orff...its style is classical and also a bit Gothic, especially in the use of a choir...Simonetti is very proud of his music, one of his most beautiful and accomplished.

* the cinematography is dark but beautiful and full of colours at the same time!

* the film is full of action and violence (Walter Fasano's editing is very good) with many different locations...the scene(s?) in the catacombs are very good.

* the film is full of Lee Wilson's digital effects and Sergio Stivaletti's effects.

* the witches are very, very sexy!

* there is one of Dario's most striking shots in his whole career, a 4 minute and 10 second sequence without cuts (?) when Asia's character is entering an old house.

Giallo
(pronounced 'djallo, plural gialli) is an italian 20th century genre of literature and film, which in italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language, however, it is used in a broader meaning that is closer to the french fantastique genre, including elements of horror fiction and eroticism.

The word giallo is Italian for "yellow" and stems from the origin of the genre as a series of cheap paperback novels with trademark yellow covers.
