The Stendhal Syndrome 1996.
A young police officer in Rome tracking a sadistic rapist and murderer becomes his obsession.
This is different from Argento's previous movies as we only see the hands but here we see the killer who is basically twisted, Thomas Kretschmann performance was great. Asia Argento gave it all she could and more as the police officer tracking him and as the victim of a brutal attack.
Like Argento's previous movies it's well shot with good colour background that you can watch without the lights off and a haunting score by Ennio Morricone, that helps with driving sane person into madness. 8 out of 10.
