Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds: The Dark Dreams of Dario Argento Review...because it was a labor of love that has taken on a life of its own. (Please excuse the fact that I had to provide a star rating in order for my comment to be published and know that I went with four stars only because I didn't want to artificially drag down the rating of my own book just because my English mother raised me to believe that modesty is next to godliness).
To this day, I'm not sure how I got the topic approved for my master's thesis at Columbia University's GSAS (I'm reminded of something someone once said about Paul Bartel's films, the gist of which was that they weren't release; they escaped), but I'm eternally grateful to Anthony Blampied, who published the first edition; Kevin McDonough (no relation, really), of the now-defunct Citadel Press, who acquired it for US distribution; and everyone who read it and cared enough to spread the word. And that includes all of you who had reservations about various parts of my analyses/interpretations: Great movies, of which Argento has made several, are slippery things that can support multiple (sometimes wildly contradictory) readings.
And just FYI, there's a new edition of the book coming out in 2010 from University of Minnesota Press. New cover, some new images and new text that discusses Argento's films since Trauma, the most recent title I was able to get into the Citadel edition (oh, and thank you Clive Barker for the great endorsement you gave me for that edition).
Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds: The Dark Dreams of Dario Argento OverviewItalian filmmaker Dario Argento's horror films have been described as a blend of Alfred Hitchcock and George Romero-psychologically rich, colorful, and at times garish, excelling at taking the best elements of the splatter and exploitation genres and laying them over a dark undercurrent of human emotions and psyches. Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds, which dissects such Argento cult films as Two Evil Eyes, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Suspiria, and Deep Red, includes a new introduction discussing Argento's most recent films, from The Stendahl Syndrome to Mother of Tears; an updated filmography; and an interview with Argento.
