So has anyone else seen this one? It's the final installment in Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy, which was started with SUSPIRIA and INFERNO. I recently got it with English subs and I gave it a watch. Now, first I have to say that SUSPIRIA and INFERNO are 2 of my favorite films. Masterpieces of mood and atmosphere that don't rely too heavily on story but rather visuals to drive them along. This one tries to wrap things up and explain things but ends up falling short. Visually, it's nothing like the previous 2 films which were awash in bright red, blue, yellow, etc. hues and absurd camera angles. LA TERZA MADRE is a much darker film and more straightforward in presentation. Argento's lovely daughter Asia is the star of the film and does a good job in the role. It's also nice to see Daria Nicolodi and Udo Kier pop up. One thing the film has going for it is violence and gore. There are some brutally nasty scenes and Argento holds NOTHING back. In particular, the killing of 2 lesbians is almost too over the top. There are plenty of other nasty deaths as well. A big minus goes to the CG used in the film. It's quite obvious and not very well done. Also, the score is completely forgettable save for Claudio Simonetti's contributions. Overall, I'm still undecided on my feelings on this film. I need to see a nice DVD copy before I can make a final judgement.
