Italian film director and screenwriter, widely known as a leading figure of giallo and 1970s Italian horror, noted for striking visuals and influential soundtracks.

Born 7 September 1940 in Rome, Italy. Director of landmark films such as Suspiria and Profondo Rosso; frequently collaborated with composers like Goblin.

Reviews praise Argento's 1970s masterpieces (Suspiria, Profondo Rosso, Tenebrae) for visual daring and music. Critics highlight his influence on giallo and auteur-ish experimentation. Many later works are judged uneven or declining in quality. Discussion centers on cinematography, soundtrack (Goblin), and casting.

For:Fans of Italian horror and giallo, film students, cinephiles interested in visual style and soundtracks.

 I believe that when the ideas for good films run out, a director should retire from the scene, especially if they've already produced films of the caliber of Suspiria, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Deep Red, Four Flies on Grey Velvet, and so on.
