Thank you so much for your compliments....Hey there! Thank you so much for your compliments. I love Argento as well (Phenomena and Opera are my favorites) and I really enjoy exploring his work theoretically. Like you said, not enough people are writing about him or other horror auteurs for that matter. I don't feel personally offended by his flicks either, but I do think some of his ideas are problematic. Please feel free to reference my essay. I would love to read it! Though my blog as a project is kind of defunct as of right now, I am writing for other publications and plan on analyzing Stendhal Syndrome and Scarlet Diva for my feminist film column at In Review Online (http://web.me.com/inreviewonline/inreviewonline/HOME/Entries/2009/11/4_Kinofemme_-_Introduction.html) in the near future. If you need any help or just want to chat about movies, please don't hesitate to e-mail me! Thanks again. I'm looking forward to reading your work. :-)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934737808011873938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826839775293286409.post-7051649894194167662009-11-09T14:43:14.972-08:002009-11-09T14:43:14.972-08:00Fascinating piece; I appreciate any article sheddi...Fascinating piece; I appreciate any article shedding light on a director who, considering his reputation amongst horror fans is very poorly represented in publications. I agree with the previous poster about the part of Argento exorcising his demons. This is a very similar conclusion that has been drawn when discussing his films with my brothers (we're all big fans of Argento!)I have to admit that I have never felt offended by one of his films which is something I'm quite intrigued by considering the reaction his films have had in the past. I hope to explore this when I come to write my Master's thesis on him and his works, with emphasis on the representation of the both the female and the male in his works. I would very much appreciate referencing your piece if you'll allow me. I see you have put your e-mail address for such requests so hopefully I'll be e-mailing you nearer the time.

(This coming from the man who champions George Romero's zombie flicks)<BR/><BR/>However, your piece was a fascinating read. Very interesting observations here- especially the bit about him peeling away his personal demons (or something like that)<BR/><BR/>It's true that there aren't enough true horror film auteurs out there. There's Argento, Romero and then who else? You know it's bad when some critical circles would include Eli Roth in the same company as the other two I mentioned.Bill Treadwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083772102422232163noreply@blogger.com
