The first ever edited collection in the English language, Critical Perspectives on Dario Argento is a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of all the films of one of the most renowned directors from the world of Euro-Horror.
Written by some of the top scholars working in fields as diverse as philosophy, film and media studies, the chapters of this book engage with Argento via posthumanism, art cinema, gender studies, historical analyses of his context, and aesthetics of blindness. The eighteen essays cover all the films made by Argento, including a section on homages and remakes.
