Add your own review!

Overview

Internationally renowned writer Alan Jones has tirelessly reported on every aspect of Dario Argento's career for more than 30 years. Every single feature, interview, review was meticulously collated into one stunning sold out volume Profondo Argento. Available again at last, Dario Argento includes a wealth of fresh material. Illustrated with rare photos and posters, Jones probes deep into the methodology of one of the world's most celebrated genre directors - and in doing so uncovers the luminous chaos of the entire Italian film industry itself.
