The Stendhal Syndrome

The Stendhal Syndrome

Directed by Dario Argento

A detective suffers strange hallucinations while hunting a serial killer in Dario Argento’s bone-chilling ‘90s masterpiece. Anna (Asia Argento) is on the trail of a psycho when she experiences Stendhal syndrome, a condition that causes people to become overwhelmed by works of art to the point of psychosis. But when the killer kidnaps and rapes her, it begins a process that threatens all who cross Anna’s path. Using CGI to bring Anna’s artistic hallucinations to life, Argento crafts a brutal yet visually stunning thriller that stands on par with his classics. Contains strong language, violence and gore.

It definitely left it's mark in my mind. One I won't forget itn a life time! Love Argento, and love revenge movies like Last House On The Left" or "I Spit On Your Grave", but at least in those movies, you got to see the assaulted characters or reletives of the characters get thier hand at vigilante justice. This one doesn't feel that way. I feel bad for Anna. I do also have to say, who writes a movie about rape revenge and decides to cast thier daughter in that role??? Asia Argento is a wonderful actor and beautifully talented but the whole idea is a bit too cringe for me... lol 5 skulls😂🤣😭
