I really want to write this review.
Deep Red is one of my all-time favorite films.
I've seen it so many times, yet every time it works as well as the first.
The soundtrack is iconic: it creates a constant, disturbing suspense that gets under your skin and never lets go.
Dario Argento is at his most powerful here: direction, editing, use of color, space, and gaze. Everything is designed to confuse, influence, and manipulate the viewer.
But the real stroke of genius comes at the end, when you realize you've seen the killer before. He was there, right before your eyes from the beginning... and you didn't even notice.
When Argento shows you that detail and everything falls into place, it's a shock: you realize the film has played a trick on you with impressive clarity.
It's a film that focuses on the unconscious, on visual memory. And that's precisely why it remains so powerful, even after a thousand viewings.
