Summary:

Dario Argento's thriller stars the director's daughter Asia as Anna Manni, a police woman trying to capture a vicious serial rapist and killer. The problem is that she suffers from ‘Stendhal’s syndrome’, a psychosomatic disease that gives her dizziness and hallucinations when she is exposed to the sight of paintings and artistic masterpieces. When the maniac lures her into a trap inside Florences' famous Uffizi museum, her troubles are just beginning... Argento puts his own highly perverse giallo spin on the dynamic relationship of fetishism, subjectivity and cinema.
