Dark Glasses,presented at 2022 Berlinale at a Special Gala, announces the return of undisputed giallo maestro Dario Argento — a gripping, bloody thriller. Rome. An eclipse blocks out the sun, blackening the skies on a hot summer day: harbinger of the darkness that will envelop Diana when a serial killer chooses her as prey. Fleeing her predator, the young escort crashes her car and loses her sight. She emerges from the initial shock determined to fight for her life, but she is no longer alone. Defending her and acting as her eyes is a little boy, Chin, who survived the car accident. “Dark Glasses is what it’s meant to be,” says Dario Argento, “a very intense giallo thriller, with however a new added element, compared to my previous films – sentiment and tenderness.”
