I will try to go on for your beloved grandchildren and especially for you who would never want to see me so grieved.

May favortie of her films, Deep Red, sports a 96% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: The kinetic camerawork and brutal over-the-top gore that made Dario Argento famous is on full display, but the addition of a compelling, complex story makes Deep Red a masterpiece.
Deep Red centered on a psychic medium (Macha Méril) who is brutally murdered. Musician Marcus Daly (David Hemmings) feels a need to solve the case, since he was the one who discovered the body. He works with reporter Gianna Brezzi (Daria Nicolodi), who hopes for a big scoop by solving the case. When one of Marcus’s friends ends up murdered by the same killer, the pair realize they must work fast to uncover the murderer’s identity. Or they might serve as the maniac’s next victims.
