C<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing off a string of misfires, his ill-fated adaptation of Bram Stoker\u2019s magnum opus suggested it might finally be time for the giallo master to hang it up. \u201cDark Glasses\u201d won\u2019t disabuse many detractors of that notion, but the violent, visual excesses of the genre he helped create are such that it feels more appropriate for Argento to stick around long past his prime rather than gracefully retire at the height of his abilities. And while only those blindly devoted to him will fail to see how patently ridiculous his latest offering is, only those immune to the puerile charm of attack dogs, eclipses and water snakes will fail to enjoy \u201cDark Glasses\u201d even a little.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the best way to give a sense of the film is to first describe its music. Initially moody, ethereal, and more than a little reminiscent of John Carpenter\u2019s \u201cHalloween\u201d theme, it turns into the kind of pulsating, bass-heavy cacophony you\u2019d be likely to hear at a Rome nightclub by the time the first victim has met her brutal end. That\u2019s emblematic of \u201cDark Glasses\u201d as a whole \u2014 an enigmatic opening scene in which heroine Diana (Ilenia Pastorelli) first dons her eponymous sunglasses to shield her eyes from an eclipse suggests something dark but restrained, but most of what follows is over-the-top to the point of being ludicrous. That\u2019s not surprising given that \u201cDark Glasses\u201d is late-era Argento, but it is a little disappointing after that killer opening and the primal effect of lines like \u201ceven our ancestors were afraid of eclipses\u201d and \u201cneither the sun nor death can be stared at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The plot, such as it is, concerns the aftermath of the violent attack that leaves Diana, a high-end sex worker, blind \u2014 a transition that also includes her caring for a child of Chinese descent who also narrowly escaped with his life that fateful night. A fellow sex worker is murdered just before Diana\u2019s brush with death, because of course she is, and her demise is shown in agonizing detail, because of course it is. There\u2019s a lot to like here, even if it often feels like there\u2019d be even more to like had Argento seen fit to dial it back a little \u2014 but then he wouldn\u2019t really be Dario Argento, would he?<\/p>\n<p>There are a few reprieves from the violence, however. The scenes in which Diana first adjusts to a sightless life \u2014 something she does with the help of an aide played by Asia Argento \u2014 are among the film\u2019s best, if only because they afford the kind of breathing room that Argento is otherwise loath to allow. Such moments make it easy to imagine \u201cDark Glasses\u201d offering even more gritty enjoyment had it been made during the maestro\u2019s heyday, but in the cold light of 2022, it can\u2019t help feeling like the retread it is. That\u2019s especially true given the sleek, anodyne lensing of cinematographer Matteo Cocco, itself a far cry from the rich visuals of \u201cSuspiria,\u201d \u201cDeep Red\u201d and \u201cThe Bird With the Crystal Plumage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We know that comparative idyll can\u2019t last, of course, and so does Diana. \u201cDark Glasses\u201d was never not going to end in bloodshed, and Argento makes it enjoyable despite how predictable it is \u2014 an assessment that applies equally to the film itself. And while it wouldn\u2019t exactly be accurate to say that \u201cDark Glasses\u201d was worth waiting a decade for, a world in which Argento continues working till the bitter end is preferable to one in which we don\u2019t have <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> like this at all.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
