Within hotel rooms, sheltered from the outside world, Dario Argento created his most acclaimed films. Today, in a hotel room in Rome’s countryside, he is writing his last. This time, however, he is not alone. Today, in agreement with his agent, he decides to return to a hotel to conclude his new script and to be interviewed, filmed, followed by a crew that is shooting a film about him. Inside this structure, Argento does not initially feel at ease, struggling to find tranquility both to finish the writing of his film, and to confide in who is interviewing him. But the demon of cinema, who never abandoned him, followed him up there and will push him, once again, to give himself totally. (Venice International Film Festival)

Dario Argento Panico, a two-part documentary, follows both the life and career of the legendary Italian director and his current efforts to write the screenplay for his latest film. If you've ever been significantly interested in Argento, the main retrospective line of the documentary won't bring you that much new information that you didn't know beforehand, but you'll definitely be entertained. The shorter present-day line, by comparison, is of no interest whatsoever. An average documentary that certainly doesn't offend.
