In full confrontation with this image, Scarlet Diva embraces the new digital technology like few films have. That is five out of close to 30 films (including her non-Italian films).Īsia Argento in father’s Stendhal Syndrome On top of these are small roles in two other horror films, The Church (1986) and Demons 2 (1988). Asia has starred in three of her father’s films, Trauma (1993), (the underrated) The Stendhal Syndrome (1996), and (the awful) The Phantom of the Opera (1998). Also, as the only image we outside of Italy have of this remarkably talented actress/director/writer, it is all too easy to think of Asia as father Argento’s whipping girl, and forget that she has actually made far more Italian art and mainstream films than horror or giallo films. In the sense that this film demonstrates that Asia Argento is much more than a sexual provocateur. I question her bad girl status because her latest debut feature film Scarlet Diva is partly an artistic response to this image propagated by the Italian media. The ‘apparent’ femme fatale extraordinaire Asia Argento, daughter of writer/director Dario Argento and actress/screenwriter Daria Nicolodi, has been making films since the ripe old age of nine ( Sogni e Bisogni 1984).
