The Stendhal Syndrome

“Murder is an art — and she’s the canvas!”

Detective Anna Manni (Asia Argento) is hunting a serial rapist and killer who keeps slipping through Italy just ahead of her. Dario Argento puts her in the middle of the case, with Alfredo Grossi (Thomas Kretschmann) at the center of it, and the pursuit starts to wear on her. Her grip on herself loosens a little more with each new victim, and by then she is the one he has chosen.
