Dark Glasses (2022)

In the sultry and near-deserted labyrinth of summer Rome, a chilling solar eclipse casts an ominous shadow, heralding the arrival of a sinister serial killer. This malevolent entity, known as "The Cellist," finds his amusement in the ruthless slaughter of high-end courtesans, using his signature tool - the cello rope. Among his intended victims is Diana, a luxury escort navigating the affluent corridors of Via Veneto. One fateful night, in a desperate bid to evade her relentless pursuer, Diana falls prey to a horrific car crash, only to awaken in a hospital shrouded in perpetual darkness. The world she once knew has been replaced by an inky void - she is blind. Rita, a compassionate guide from the Blind Society, assists Diana in adapting to her new, sightless existence. Yet, the remorseless hunter, The Cellist, remains unsatisfied and hellbent on finishing what he started. Amid the chaos, Diana discovers an unexpected ally in Chin, a young Chinese boy orphaned by the same crash that stole her sight. Despite coming from vastly different cultural backgrounds, Diana and Chin form a unique bond, their shared trauma and resilience forging an alliance against the looming threat. Renowned director Dario Argento returns after a decade-long hiatus, expertly intertwining elements of Italian "giallo" pulp fiction, a touch of his trademark horror, and a dash of sharp irony. The narrative hurtles between the contrasting worlds of Rome's affluent districts and its lesser-known Chinatown, all against the backdrop of a captivating solar eclipse. The master's eye morphs this terrifying ordeal into a symphony of pure geometry and transmutes the social conflict into a metaphysical construct, reminiscent of Antonioni's architectural vision. Dark Glasses, or "Occhiali neri," is a relentless chase through urban jungle and rural tranquility, a stark exploration of class war and a testament to the indomitable human spirit. It's a thrilling cat-and-mouse game where darkness is both an ally and a foe, where survival is the only victory, and where every step could be a stride towards salvation or a stumble into the abyss.
