Dario Argento

A film critic in the 1960s, Dario Argento signed one of his first screenplays for A Rope, a Colt by Robert Hossein in 1968. A year later, he was spotted by Sergio Leone, who asked him to write the screenplay from his Once Upon a Time in the West in collaboration with Bernardo Bertolucci. In 1970, his father, producer Salvatore Argento, allowed Dario Argento to step behind the camera for the first time with The Bird in Crystal Plumage. A film that lays the groundwork for his favorite themes: fascination with animals, visual memory (a man witnesses an assault but does not remember the face of the culprit who now harasses him) and a police investigation in the most pure transalpine genre that we will later name the giallo, named after the yellow color of the covers of detective novels in Italy.

Writer of his own films, Dario Argento follows almost immediately with The Cat has nine tails whose producers impose an international casting including Karl Malden, James Franciscus and Catherine Spaak. This time, it is a blind ex-police officer who is the auditory witness of a crime, the cat in the title referring to the clues that allow the culprit to be found. In 1971, the director closed his "animal trilogy" with Quatre mouches de velours gris, starring Michael Brandon, Jean-Pierre Marielle and flies, the pivot of the plot.

After his first three feature films crowned with critical and public success, Dario Argento embarked on a more personal project in 1973: Le Cinque Giornate, a comedy set during the Italian Revolution of 1848. The failure of the film pushed its director to return to his kind of prediction, the giallo . It will be Les Frissons de l'angoisse (1975), considered by many as his masterpiece. Particularly bloody, the film allows the director to collaborate for the first time with actress Daria Nicolodi, who becomes his wife, his muse and the mother of his daughter Asia. Also the first participation of the rock group Goblins in the soundtrack, a group whose compositions will long be associated with the bloody images of Argento's films.

In 1977, Dario Argento abandoned the giallo and embarked on the path of the fantastic with the very visual and inventive Suspiria in which Jessica Harper was imprisoned in a dance school with evil leaders. A year later, the director collaborated in the writing and production of George A. Romero's Zombie (which he would go back to for European exploitation), then followed up in the fantastic with Inferno in 1980, found the giallo with Ténèbres en 1982 and continues in the fantastic with Phenomena in 1985. The relative failure of the latter pushes Argento to be satisfied for some time with only scriptwriting and film production (Demons et Démons 2). His return to directing in 1987 with Opera is, by Argento's own admission, the

In the early 90s, the Italian director went into exile in the United States to co-sign Two Evil Eyes with George A. Romero, then direct Trauma for which he launched his daughter Asia, then 18 years old. A collaboration renewed in 1996 for Le Syndrome de Stendhal, nourished by Argento's passion for art. In 1998, the director signed a new adaptation of the Phantom of the Opera, then produced Scarlet Diva, the first production of his daughter Asia in 2000. Two years later, Dario Argento found the giallo in The Blood of the Innocents.

After a three-year absence, he produced, wrote and directed the thriller Card Player, then shot the medium-length horror film Jenifer the following year. In 2007, after directing two episodes of the horror series Masters of Horror, he offered the lead role of Mother of Tears - The Third Mother to his daughter Asia. One year later, he staged Adrien Brody in Giallo, a tribute to Italian exploitation films. In 2012, he embarked on the adaptation of Bram Stoker's famous novel, Dracula , with Asia Argento and Thomas Kretschmann, who played Alfredo Grossi in Le Syndrome de Stendhal.
