What critics compared The Stendhal Syndrome to
SCREENED AT THE 2008 SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL: In the second scene of Dario Argento�s ("The Stendhal Syndrome," "Trauma," "Opera," "Phenomena," "Tenebrae," "Inferno," "Suspiria," "Deep Red," "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage") third film in his �Three Mothers� trilogy ("Suspiria" and "Inferno" were the first and second, respectively), "Mother of Tears: The Third Mother," hooded figures attack a woman, stab her in the mouth, slash her stomach, and strangle her with her own intestines while a malevolent monkey screeches nearby.
In what feels like an in-joke, a better-than-usual Asia Argento (who else?) plays Sarah Mandy, the curator for the same museum that served as the locus of her character's problems in The Stendhal Syndrome.
