Reviews for The Stendhal Syndrome
The film should be approached ... less as delirious exploitation and more as a maturing director's next evolution ....
serves as a devastating, nihilistic attack on the failures--and fascinatingly, the successes--of Argento's oeuvre to this point.
Syndrome's bloody, flipped-out rapes may offend the politically correct, but its underlying concept is gripping.
