A facebook friend of mine (that I've spent time with, at two Argento film screenings) is going to Berlin to see the new film. He's got a ticket for the first performance on Friday. I'll let you know his impressions of the film. btw This fellow hasn't been fully on board with an Argento movie since Sleepless and absolutely hated Giallo and Dracula so I'll be curious to read his thoughts.

Here's my friend's review of Dark Glasses followed by a video of three film clips.

"I really liked Dark Glasses (Occhiali neri). At times I had tears in my eyes, as it self-referenced Dario's previous films time and time again. It felt realistic, I was invested in the characters throughout and believed in their plight. I thought it showed considerable depth given the short run time. However it felt oddly truncated at times. I also thought the score was a little disappointing overall, but I even loved moments of that. Considering Dario's last two films, this is a major leap in the right direction. I enjoyed it very much. I am so happy that Dario made this film at 80 years of age. It's not overly gory but it's effective and believeable. Even though I'd class this as one of Dario's most realistic films, it has a strange aura. It is shot in natural light with excellent cinematography throughout. It's better to live in a world where Dario is still making good films. If this is to be his swansong, it's a fine way to bow out and retire. I'm feeling a strong 7 on this at the moment."

That’s if local cinemas show it, if so I’ll 100% be going.

It won't get a cinema release over here. Be lucky if it gets a dvd release.

I'm sure Arrow could pick it up seeing as they aren't averse to releasing Dario's classics 300 times so they had better support his new one.

Yeah, I've read that Shudder have streaming rights for both America and the UK. I'm hoping that it won't badly affect the arrival of English friendly physical media.
