In a career full of nutty, brutal, style-forward horror
films, few titles on Dario Argento’s resume are as strange, violent, or
aesthetically singular as his 1987 giallo, Opera, which has a
nice new Blu-ray release from Scorpion. In one of the bonus features, the
director calls it his favorite of his films, and it’s easy to see why. It’s
like a collection of all of his visual and thematic faves and watches a bit
like if Douglas Sirk make horror movies instead of domestic melodramas.
