The director of a string of cult chiller classics starting in the 1970s, including “The Bird With the Crystal Plumage,” “Suspiria” and “Deep Red,” was at Cannes last July with his acting debut in Gaspar Noe’s “Vortex,” about a pair of old lovers. Argento was also celebrated last year with a new book by Italian critic Steve Della Casa and a retro at New York’s Lincoln Center. This spring he’s set to be honored with a big show at Italy’s National Museum of Cinema in Turin.
The pic is about a serial killer who strangles prostitutes with cello strings and is pursuing a luxury escort named Diana. But there is a twist. Diana is blinded by a car crash with the killer and gets help from an orphaned Chinese boy. A social worker played by Dario’s daughter, Asia Argento, also comes to the rescue.Argento was supposed to make the film in 2002, produced by Italo mogul Vittorio Cecchi Gori, who went bust while they were doing location scouting.
Besides starring in the pic in a secondary role, Asia serves as its associate producer. But she was also instrumental, along with Noe, in getting French techno composer Arnaud Rebotini ,” “Blair Witch”) to score the film after Daft Punk allegedly dropped out because they broke up. Casting a Chinese boy to play Chin, the orphan who becomes the blind Diana’s eyes, was more complicated. Eventually the production found a “very mature” boy named Xinyu Zhang in Milan, home to the second-largest Chinese population in Europe.
