Titanus [1] Release date 27 October 1982 ( 1982-10-27 ) Running time 101 |
minutes Country Italy Tenebrae ( lit. '"darkness"', also known as Tenebre ) is |
a 1982 Italian giallo [2] [3] [4] [5] film written and directed by Dario |
Argento . The film stars Anthony Franciosa as American author Peter Neal, who |
– while in Rome promoting his latest murder-mystery novel – becomes embroiled |
in the search for a serial killer who may have been inspired to kill by his |
novel. John Saxon and Daria Nicolodi co-star as Neal's agent and assistant |
respectively, while Giuliano Gemma and Carola Stagnaro appear as detectives |
investigating the murders. John Steiner , Veronica Lario , and Mirella |
D'Angelo also feature in minor roles. The film has been described as exploring |
themes of dualism and sexual aberration, and has strong metafictional |
elements; some commentators consider Tenebrae to be a direct reaction by |
Argento to criticism of his previous work, most especially his depictions of |
murders of women. After Argento had experimented with pure supernatural horror |
with 1977's Suspiria and 1980's Inferno , Tenebrae represented the filmmaker's |
return to the giallo subgenre, which he had helped popularize in the 1970s. |
Argento was inspired by a series of incidents which saw an obsessed fan |
telephone the director to criticize him for the damaging psychological effects |
of his previous work. The telephone calls culminated in death threats towards |
Argento, who channelled the experience into the writing of Tenebrae . The |
director also wanted to explore the senselessness of killings he had seen and |
heard about while staying in Los Angeles in 1980, and his feeling at the time |
that true horror came from those who wanted "to kill for nothing". [6] Shot on |
location in Rome and at Elios Studios, Tenebrae utilized mostly modern-looking |
locations and sets, allowing Argento to realize his vision that the film |
reflects a near-future with a diminished population; the director filmed none |
of the historical landmarks that usually featured in films set in Rome. |
Employing director of photography Luciano Tovoli , Argento also intended that |
the film simulate the stark, realistic lighting featured in television police |
shows at the time; production designer Giuseppe Bassan created supporting |
environments that were cold and austere, with sharp angles and modernistic |
spaces. Several former members of Italian rock band Goblin provided Tenebrae ' |
s music, a synth-heavy score inspired by rock and disco music. Tenebrae was a |
modest success in Italy; it reached theatres with little controversy after |
Argento made cuts to one of the most violent scenes. However, in the United |
Kingdom, it was added to the infamous list of " video nasties " and banned |
from sale until 1999. The film's theatrical distribution in the United States |
was delayed until 1984 when it was released in a heavily censored version |
under the title Unsane , which received a mostly negative critical reception. |
The original version later became widely available for reappraisal, and has |
come to be considered one of Argento's best films by many fans and critics. |
