The Stendhal Syndrome (1996)
["La sindrome di Stendhal">


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


The Stendhal Syndrome is a 1995 Italian horror
film written and directed by Dario Argento and
starring his daughter Asia Argento. It was the
first Italian film to use computer-generated
imagery (CGI)

Director Dario Argento tried at first to get
Bridget Fonda and then Jennifer Jason Leigh to
play the role of Anna.

Argento planned on making a sequel which would
follow detective Anna Manni on another case.
However, Asia was unavailable so the
character's name was changed (to Anna Mari) and
Stefania Rocca was cast. The resulting film is
2004's The Card Player.

The film carries a 73% 'Fresh' rating from Rotten
Tomatoes indicating positive reviews and was
nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Home Video
Release.

Meanwhile AllMovie called the film "a sadistic
and disturbing psychological exploration driven
by the horrifying concept of a rape victim who
begins to take on her attacker's dark persona",
but one that is "ultimately a victim of its own
excess and the director's tendency to
overcomplicate a fairly simple storyline."
