Plot: The light goes out, the music obsessive, the shadows a figure materializes, there is a staircase, there is a door, and splashes of blood. It is the ritual, eternal, Dario Argento, smart and functional this ritual is repeated fifteen times. It starts with three teenage friends, we are in Turin in 1983. The guys are passionate about animal nursery rhymes. It is the starting point for the first murder (of the mother of one of three) and all the other occurring in 2000. The suspect was a dwarf. Every victim dies (ever so chilling) in the name of an animal cut in the card: next to the head, cut off, a dancer dressed as a swan the swan leave a murderess, and so on. Final catharsis. Complicated history with the ritual of death too often. Sure, it works, but a little 'cheap.
Lietta Tornabuoni (La Stampa)
Women tortured to death with her throat screwed by an English horn, beating her with his face crashed against a wall, his head chopped off, drowned in a wash tub. Blood everywhere. A nano writer of detective novels. 1983 murders, too much like a 2000 killing. A murder with a fountain pen, thickened in the temple. Long nails lacquered a dark hand of a girl murdered, torn by violence to bleed up to the fingertips, so that it can not keep any piece of skin for DNA identification. A naughty boy. The pain of the empty houses. An empty coffin. From the street, the police shooting at a guy who gives back to the window on the first floor, and beating their heads. In the new film by Dario Argento, whose title should be written all SLEEPLESS attached as an electronic address, there are beautiful pieces: a empty train that runs through the night, glimpsed from the outside while a female figure on the run, the a stumbling, rambling girls who walk, almost afraid to rush into the darkness, a house in Turin as a box of mystery ocher, and the streets deserted, the abandoned houses in the neighborhoods of the city just more rational and irrational in Italy (the movie was filmed in Turin). Then there are all the tricks of the typical horror film and horror: the shining blades of edged weapons, shots in which the images overlap and intersect, voices from the darkness that invoke the name of the intended victim, songs, enigmatic blowing, horrific noise, promises ("I'll find out who killed your mother, I had to put all my life"). There is an insane final, not a culprit: patience. There are estimated stage actors: Rossella Falk, Gabriele Lavia. There are scenes (the murder of a prostitute, who pretends to be guilty Lavia) almost identical to scenes of Darkness (1983) or Deep Red (1975): the director does not leave the horror to go to the yellow, simply returns to itself. This gives an air SLEEPLESS already seen, old-fashioned, bombastic music and primary Goblin contributes to an impression of obsolescence. In Turin, where in 1983 they had committed a series of atrocious crimes of which he had not found the culprit, the killings begin again. Investigate Paolo Maria Scalondro cop updated electronically. Also investigates Max von Sydow, retired cop who has lost his memory and sleep, who works for reflection (when not sleeping, I think) and realized that He was helped by Stefano Dionisi, son of a victim of 1983: together find a nursery rhyme that the child murderess offers in practice exactly paranoid ... Among the actors were well chosen Roberto Zibetti, seen in Stealing Beauty by Bernardo Bertolucci, Paul and Mary Scalondro, recently seen on TV in District of police of both sides have an eloquence, a character which is enough to reveal their characters.
