Product Description

When beautiful police detective Anna Manni follows the bloody trail of a sophisticated serial murderer/rapist through the streets of Italy, the young woman falls victim to the bizarre Stendhal Syndrome - a hallucinatory phenomenon which causes her to lose her mind and memory in the presence of powerful works of art. Trapped in this twilight realm, Anna plunges deeper and deeper into sexual psychosis, until she comes to know the killer's madness more intimately than she ever imagined. Horror maestro Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, OPERA) reaches new heights of florid fantasy and Grand Guignol with this warped work of art starring Maxim Magazine's Sexiest Woman in the World Asia Argento (LAND OF THE DEAD, XXX), Thomas Kretschmann (DRACULA 3D, KING KONG) and Marco Leonardi (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 3, CINEMA PARADISO). Previously edited outside of Italy, Blue Underground proudly presents THE STENDHAL SYNDROME in a gorgeous new 2K restoration from the original camera negative and bursting with brand-new Extras exclusive to this release! Bonus features include: NEW Audio Commentary with Troy Howarth, author of So Deadly, So Perverse, Three Shades Of Asia - NEW Interview with Star Asia Argento, Prisoner Of Art - NEW Interview with Co-Writer Franco Ferrini, Sharp As A Razor - NEW Interview with Special Makeup Artist Franco Casagni, Theatrical Trailer, Poster & Still Gallery, Director: Dario Argento, Inspiration: Psychological Consultant Graziella Magherini, Special Effects: Sergio Stivaletti, Assistant Director: Luigi Cozzi, Production Designer: Massimo Antonello Geleng BONUS Collectable Booklet featuring new writing by author Michael Gingold

For Argento completists...

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

The Stendhal Syndrome is an Argento film that I don't revisit as often as his great 1970s / early 1980s films. The film has a cool plot revolving around the main charcter (Asia Argento) suffering from "Stendhal Syndrome". This disorder causes her to hallucinate and faint when in the presence of art, and a killer takes advantage of her having this disorder. The biggest reason I don't revisit Stendhal Syndrome very often, is the 2 hour run time. This film definitely drags, and I find myself constantly checking how much time is left. The acting is also be pretty rough. That's not to say it doesn't have some good moments though.

Overall I would really only recommend this film for Argento fans, who have yet to see it. If you interested in checking out Argento films for the first time, don't start here.

The Blue Underground Blu Ray video and audio quality are great.

An Argento film to ponder

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Stendhal Syndrome is an Argento film I have struggled with. There's something downright creepy about Dario as a father having Asia do some of the very graphic/bloody scenes contained within. Yet, the movie is compelling at the same time. It is fascinating because it is so very audacious. Its unpleasantness over the years has now turned into a virtue for me. In these days of more awareness of female victimization and the need for revenge, the film makes one think. While secretly a remake of Bird with the Crystal Plumage more or less, it represents Argento's last big dare. It's almost as if everything afterwards were either nostalgic homage (Sleepless) or incompetent disaster (Dracula).

Dario Argento’s the Stendhal Syndrome

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

Dario Argento’s most well known film staring his daughter Asia Argento. I thought the movie was quite fascinating with some good acting from Asia Argento. However, the standout performance in this movie is Thomas Kretschmann. His performance is intense and very haunting. The score of the film is fantastic too.

Nothing special

Before the movie is half over her affliction with Stendahl Syndrome is forgotten about. Too bad, because maybe that was the most interesting part. We're left with an average serial killer movie. Much of the acting was below average and the twists in the plot were not convincing. I did like the scenery in Florence.

Thank you for the amazing director's cut of this Italian Classic. I adore Argento and was seriously happy to recieve this a day early.....with the special care taken not to scratch or damage it in the mail! I remember watching this on my phone thinking this is so messed up...I must have a copy! But couldnt find a reasonable price back then....until now. Thank you so much for everything!

Difficult and contradictory but occasionally fascinating

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2006

Verified Purchase

The Stendhal Syndrome is probably Dario Argento's most difficult and contradictory film. On one side it's a nasty little thriller about a serial rapist and killer with some unpleasant violence (albeit not as excessive as you might expect). And yet at the same time it does make a genuine effort to build a narrative around the psychological after-effects on one of his victims as she continually reinvents herself in an attempt to run away from the experience. Unfortunately, the fact that she's played by Asia Argento, an actress with more ferocity than subtlety doesn't help. Nor does the fact that the Stendhal Syndrome itself, a form of emotional overload and physical breakdown in the presence of great works of art somewhat similar to the Jerusalem Syndrome, isn't really explored. The bad cgi when it is doesn't help either. Still, it's much, much better than the likes of Argento's pitiful Phantom of the Opera or The Card Player, but it's not essential viewing by a long, long way.

The film has always had a checkered history on DVD - for all Lloyd Kaufman's boasts of releasing the uncut version, Troma's release was less than impressive and 74 seconds shorter than the Italian version (a couple of brief dialogue scenes trimmed by Argento himself) with a underwhelming transfer that offered only the English dub. The extras were a mixed bag too - three interviews with Dario Argento (one about Phantom of the Opera), a TV spot, stills gallery, interview with fx man Sergio Stivaletti and, for no discernible reason, Ruggero Deodato on Cannibal Holocaust and far too much Troma crap. Whereas the Italian PAL 2-disc DVD offered the dubbed American version and the very slightly longer subtitled Italian version on separate discs but was overcropped to 1.78:1 rather than the original 1.66:1 widescreen, Blue Underground offers the uncut film on the first disc with optional English or Italian soundtracks in 1.66:1 (the film reverts to subtitled Italian for the restored scenes) in a superb transfer supervised by cinematographer Giuseppe Rotuno that finally shows the film in it's true colors after years of grainy and washed-out transfers. There's also a good selection of substantial interviews on the second disc. Although the making of documentary on the Italian two-disc set hasn't been included, with separate interviews with Argento, special effects supervisor Sergio Stivaletti, assistant director Luigi Cozzi and production designer Massimo Antonello Geleng, there's no cause for complaint. Best of all is the fascinating interview with psychological consultant Graziella Magherini, who originally identified the syndrome in the unrelated non-fiction book that inspired the film.

Seriously good psychological thriller

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2004

CONTAINS ONE MINOR SPOILER
The Stendhal Syndrome was the second movie I saw by Dario Argento. Since then I've become a huge fan of his work. Many people find this multi-layered thriller to be one of his failures and I find that hard to believe. Granted, it's more character driven than most of his movies tend to be and the movie's pace and athmosphere change dramatically in the second half. Still, I found out that it's got a lot of his trademarks (having now viewed all his movies except Four flies on grey velvet, which I can't find anywhere). It's stylish as hell, with great use of artworks (as metaphors that is; the scene where Asia covers herself in paint had me wondering), the music score is excellent (by Ennio Morricone; not Goblin) and the violence is at times extreme (the rape scenes particularly, since you know Asia's father is directing them).
The real difference with this film considering Dario's other films is the psychological undertone. I have watched this movie now three times and I'm always seeing something I didn't figure out the last time. That's what great complex thrillers do, they always keep you wondering. This is without a doubt Dario Argento's most complex film, it demands the audience pay attention to what's happening. As far as psychological thrillers go, this one ranks high.
