Like I said in the horror challenge thread, Inferno is a gorgeous film from beginning to end, possibly Argento's most visually stunning film to date, though that is disputable. The film is very bizarre, and makes little sense. Still, I do find myself enjoying most of the bizarre sequences. I like odd stuff, and like I said, the film is simply gorgeous. I love this film, but the lame Emerson score sounds terrible, and is a disappointment compared to Goblin's creepy Suspiria score. It doesn't seem to fit the film at all. Despite that qualm, and the film's tendency to be all over the map, I consider this a great film. I'm a huge Argento fan, and he certainly achieves what he set out to do with this one.
The events that unfold in Inferno's beautiful, surreal, yet dark world are truly a joy to witness, however bizarre they may be. Argento's style is at its very peak, and the film is very hypnotic. The imagery is just enthralling, and Argento's inspiration from the works of Bava is the most apparent here. Hell, Bava even directed the previously mentioned underwater ballroom sequence.
