Addio a Daria Nicolodi, La Musa Di Dario Argento Leggi l'articolo su beautynews Addio a Daria Nicolodi, la musa di Dario Argento Nella giornata del 26 novembre è scomparsa Daria Nicolodi all'età di 70 anni. Un addio che ha colpito il cinema italiano privandolo della sua scream queen e di uno dei suoi talenti più poliedrici. Attrice che negli anni 70 si era imposta con il ruolo della crocerossina di Uomini contro di Francesco Rosi e poi nel film culto Salomé di Carmelo Bene, Daria Nicolodi è poi divenuta vera e propria icona nel sodalizio artistico e sentimentale (terminato nel 1985) con Dario Argento. Da un lato il giovane regista toscano, promessa del cinema italiano e "allievo" di Sergio Leone (Argento e Bertolucci collaborarono per un certo periodo alla scrittura di C'era una volta il West), dall'altro la bravura, l'intensità e alcune intuizioni di sceneggiatura di Daria Nicolodi che contribuì in maniera sensibile alla riuscita straordinaria di Profondo Rosso, film culto che lanciò definitivamente Dario Argento tra i maestri del brivido. Il contributo della Nicolodi al successo di Argento è cosa notoria: non poche furono le sue intuizioni nella creazione del personaggio di Gianna Brezzi, ma addirittura vitali furono i suoi racconti d'infanzia nella creazione dell'altro film di culto di Argento, Suspiria. Archivio, Morta Daria Nicolodi mamma di Asia Argento Daria Nicolodi nel Macbeth imago stock&people / IPA Madre di Asia Argento Nicolodi, oltre ad apparire nelle opere di Argento ( Inferno, Phenomena fino al recente La Terza Madre), ha collaborato nella sua carriera anche con l'altro maestro del terrore, Mario Bava, appaiando la sua carriera cinematografica al suo impegno teatrale. L'ultimo impegno artistico, 11 anni fa, in L'Ispettore Coliandro dopo il quale ha abbandonato le scene per dedicarsi ai suoi studi esoterici e la sua passione per l'arte. Una grande attrice e artista, dalle luminose intuizioni che oggi lascia un vuoto. Non solo nel cinema di genere. pagina 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Unmasking the Devil: Comfort and Closure in Horror Film Special Features
    Unmasking the Devil: Comfort and Closure in Horror Film Special Features ZACHARY SHELDON While a viewer or critic may choose to concentrate solely on a film’s narrative as representative of what a film says, some scholars note that the inclusion of the supplementary features that often accompany the home release of a film destabilize conceptions of the text of a film through introducing new information and elements that can impact a film’s reception and interpretation (Owczarski). Though some special features act as mere advertising for a film’s ancillary products or for other film’s or merchandise, most of these supplements provide at least some form of behind-the-scenes look into the production of the film. Craig Hight recognizes the prominent “Making of Documentary” (MOD) subgenre of special feature as being especially poised to “serve as a site for explorations of the full diversity of institutional, social, aesthetic, political, and economic factors that shape the development of cinema as a medium and an art form” (6). Additionally, special features provide the average viewer access to the magic of cinema and the Hollywood elite. The gossip or anecdotes shared in interviews and documentaries in special features provide viewers with an “insider identity,” that seemingly involves them in their favorite films beyond the level of mere spectator (Klinger 68). This phenomenon is particularly interesting in relation to horror films, the success of which is often predicated on a sense of mystery or the unknown pervading the narrative so as to draw out visceral affective responses from the audience. The notion of the special feature, which unpacks and reveals the inner workings of the film set and even the film’s plot, seems contradictory to the enjoyment of what the horror film sets out to do.

Any latter publication shall recognise FORUM as the original publisher. Palimpsest, Pasolini, Poe and Poetics, or the phantoms haunting Dario Argento’s Opera (1987) Keith Hennessey Brown University of Edinburgh Italian horror and thriller auteur Dario Argento’s films are replete with images and themes of haunting: the solidified residue of malign, murderous thoughts sensed by the medium at the parapsychology conference which opens Profondo Rosso (1975) or the literal haunted houses inhabited by the witches Mater Tenebrarum, Suspiriorum and Lachrymarum in the horror films Suspiria (1977) and Inferno (1980). Above all, Argento’s gialli – i.e. Italian-style thrillers – from The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) onwards present a succession of protagonists who find themselves haunted by some vital fragment of sound or image that they cannot quite recall, going up against antagonists whose inability to overcome the haunting legacy of some incident in their past compels them to kill again and again.

    CINERGIE il cinema e le altre arti 4 CRITICA Expressionist Use of Colour Palette and Set Design in Dario CINEFILIA Argento’s Suspiria (1977) E FESTIVAL STUDIES At the time of Suspiria’s release in the United States in 1978, the Soho Weekly News critic Rob Baker identifi ed Dario Argento’s new cinematic experience as a “horror fi lm (The Cabinet of Dr Caligari) laden with […] the self-conscious convoluted fairy tale Alice in Wonderland”1. Baker’s statement introduces two fundamental issues regarding the fi lm itself. Suspiria constitutes a step forward in Argento’s career both in terms of narrative and style. Firstly, the fi lm is the director’s fi rst foray into the realms of the wholly supernatural horror of occultism and witchcraft. Particularly, Argento chooses the narrative trope of the fairy tale to narrate the negative effects of black magic on people and the horrifi c consequences that may derive from opposing the occult power of witches. Secondly, the fi lm was inspired by the visual tropes of German Expressionism, such as Robert Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (Das Kabinett Des Dr. Caligari, 1920). Baker’s analysis, however, allows ample space to Suspiria’s fairy tale component by referencing Lewis Carroll’s novel but does not explore how and to what extent Suspiria may have been infl uenced by Wiene’s fi lm. Argento himself is very open about the importance of German Expressionism on his style of fi lmmaking even going so far as to state that: “il cinema espressionista tedesco […] penso sia molto presente nei miei fi lm […].

    22 “Te sound, it looks wonderful.” — Dario Argento If the colour yellow once evoked the pleasant imagery of bright summer days and blooming bush daisies, it certainly took a dark turn in the cinematic world of twentieth century Italy. Murder mysteries shot in saturated colours depicting grim, twisted nightmares of brutal killings became the new yellow—the giallo flm. But before referring to a genre of graphic Italian horror flms, giallo, the Italian word for yellow, was used to describe a genre of paperback mystery novels with bright yellow spines and covers introduced by the Milanese publishing house Mondadori in 1929.1 Most of the stories were translations of English whodunits and hard- boiled detective novels, including work by Edgar Allan Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie 2, with translations of Edgar Wallace novels appearing to be some of the most popular during the 1930s and 1940s.3 Despite the fact some critics, such as Alberto Savino, believed that mysteries were “unnatural” and “foreign” to Italian culture, these novels managed to inspire not only an Italian literary tradition with authors such as Giorgio Scerbanenco, Andrea Camilleri, and Carlo Lucarelli 4, but also some of the most terrifying and visually striking flms to come out of Italy during the 1960s and 1970s. Gialli frequently cross generic boundaries of crime flms, horror movies, and thrillers, and therefore may be more appropriately considered flone, as they are by many Italian critics, rather than part of a genre.5 Meaning large thread, the term flone is used to indicate a looser collection of similar themes and styles.6 Gialli can be more generally related to each other in this way, and thus a flm like Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) can be called giallo despite its greater resemblance to the supernatural horror thriller.
