This Saturday Night Special is a 1980 art exhibition from Dario Argento!
I took a film class in college and the only thing I have always remembered is that the instructor talked about the importance of "Hot and Cold," and Dario Argento definitely graduated from that same school of thought!
And the very cool soundtrack is by Keith Emerson of Emerson Lake and Palmer fame!
There are no alternate titles for "Inferno, but if there was one, it would surely be
"The Three Mothers!"
Writing in cursive is sadly a dying art, and we're doing everything we can to stop it from happening!
Because some things are important!
"Inferno" is a look!
There's hardly any dialogue, but the composition and lighting on each and every freakin' shot is meticulously thought out!
If you just took out all the grisly murders,"Inferno" would be an amazingly beautiful presentation!
But that's just not the way Dario Argento works!
Who else is going to go to all the trouble to get a shot like this just for the Hell of it?
Years ago I downloaded almost this same exact picture from somewhere on the internet, and I never knew where or what it was from until I watched '"Inferno" yesterday!
Funny thing is that after all this time, I still don't get it!
Okay...Spoiler Alert: This movie is 40 years old, so I hope this isn't too shocking,
The Three Mothers = Death!
In Argento's world, there's a fine line between mysterious and ambiguous!
I do know one thing, he likes shots down long hallways like this that make great wallpaper!
The mix of beauty and wanton violence is unnerving at best, just the way it was planned!
Cats also play a predominant role in the order of disorder, lots and lots of cats!!
The quick shots like this are endless!
Looks like something from a fine art gallery!
I don't exactly know why, but Daria Nicolodi is one of my favourite actresses! She has been Dario Argento's partner for many years, but they never got hitched!
Some other disturbing films Daria has been in are "SHOCK!"
Unfortunately, Daria hasn't done any acting since 2009!
The fire and ice scenes never cease throughout the whole film!
I've seen lots of phones, but this push button design is a little different!
Three Mothers is Death, or Three Mothers are death,
when everything goes completely to Hell, I guess we'll all find out!
Dario Argento hasn't done much film work the last few years! He has a couple of films possibly coming out in 2020, one that will star his and Daria's daughter, Asia Argento called "Occhiali neri," that was written in 2002, but got shelved when the production company went bankrupt!
