Dario Argento è ormai celebre in tutto il mondo ed è anche l’unico regista italiano che la gente riconosce per la strada. Ed è proprio tutto su Dario Argento quello che racconta qui Luigi Cozzi che da più di quarant’anni gli è accanto come collaboratore e amico. In questo volume troverete quindi tutti i film diretti e prodotti dal Maestro italiano del giallo e della suspense... i suoi lavori per la televisione, compresa la serie di 100 pallottole d’argento in onda su Rai Movie... e la storia della sua “Piccola Bottega” di Roma che nei sotterranei ospita il famoso “Museo degli Orrori di Dario Argento”. Una “full immersion” nel mondo di Dario Argento, arricchita da tantissime notizie inedite e da moltissime foto rare.

***1/2
Written and edited by Luigi Cozzi, a friend and collaborator of Dario Argento's, "Giallo Argento" is a useful reference guide to the Italian master's films. It's written in an informal manner by someone who is clearly an admirer of Argento's.
Cozzi draws parallels and differences between Argento and past suspense and horror directors, and gets into Italian cinema history enough to advise the viewer on Argento's influences and also effects on the industry.
You'll forgive the typos, I'm sure, recognizing this is a DIY work published by Cozzi and Argento's own shop. I sure would like to visit the Profondo Rosso store one day; if I ever get to Rome, it'll certainly be on the itinerary.

This is a 3.5. It’s a a simple read, more of a reference book than anything deeper, as Cozzi looks at every film directed or produced by Dario Argento. It did add a bunch of films that inspired him to my watchlist though!
It’s self-published so clearly hasn’t been edited as there’s a lot of typos and sone very… er… interesting uses of English but it’s written with flair and makes even sone of Argento’s weaker works sone interesting. Definitely a few film sill give the time of day now, although he does tend to stick to one theme ‘Argento is a genius’ which means it’s not very objective.
One for Argento fans only.
