Product Description

Product Description

Final part of Dario Argento's 'The Three Mothers' trilogy. Asia Argento stars as Sarah Mandy, an American studying art restoration at the Museum of Ancient Art in Rome. When Sarah examines an urn discovered at a decrepit grave near Viterbo, she uncovers within it relics of a witch known as the Mother of Tears (Moran Atias). Breaking the seal results in the return of the beautiful witch's powers, and the world descends into chaos.

Awful rubbish from Argento that fails on every level. There's three possibilities here: 1) the film is a gag, a joke being played on his loyal fans who've been patiently waiting for the sequels to 'Suspiria' and 'Inferno' for 27 years, and its terrible writing, lacklustre direction, numerous incompetencies, and dreadful performances are part of the fun (it's hard to square this with the film's truly nasty and unpleasant gore scenes, though); 2) Argento realises that he's lost whatever inspiration he had all those years ago, couldn't have cared less making this film and, after scribbling the plot on a cafe napkin, spent his time on set just waved his hand vaguely in the direction of the actors without even looking up from the newspaper or whatever he was reading; 3) Argento genuinely believes this is a serious and scary movie, and this is the best he can now do (which is the most depressing of the three). But as a joke it's not funny, and as a serious horror movie it's utterly preposterous and inept.

Maybe it's because I remember Argento for The Bird With the Crystal Plumage, Cat O' Nine Tails, Suspiria, Phenomena and Opera amongst many other great works of art that I was so disappointed and surprised at Mother of Tears. As it is well known to his legion of fans Argento's movies as great as they can be have never impressed when it came to his choice of actors. But this effort signifies a new low. Why Dario hired Adam James is anyone's guess. He is amongst one of the worst actors that I have had to endure over a 90 minute period of celluiloid film. I was thinking that he wouldn't look out of place in an episode of the BBC 1 drama Casualty. So I almost lost a lung through laughing when I checked his resume on IMDB to be confronted with the fact that he was a regular on the show. Even Argento's daughter Asia who has always been a decent method actor above acting is pretty dire. The whole feel of the film seems like a low budget TV production than a lavish Argento masterpiece and you are left wondering why Dario didn't just up and pack his bags halfway through production, couldn't he see what was happening?

Mother of Tears is the final segment in the trilogy which kicked off with Suspiria some 30 years ago and was followed up by the well filmed but ultimately flawed Inferno. But this final part no one could see coming in the 80s and in Argento's pomp. The plot itself could have unravelled into a half decent film if he had found some believable actors and had hired a better writing team than himself, Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch. And one is craving to hear a Goblin soundtrack that never appears.

On the plus side there are a few scenes that crave your attention and the gore is plentiful and quite brutal ala Argento.

Italian horror maestro Dario Argento returns with the third and final chapter in his ''three mothers'' trilogy which began with the superb 'Suspiria' and 'Inferno'. Following on from a recent slate of minor missteps, hopes were high for the master of italian horror to come full circle with this much celebrated series of films. Problem is, my hopes were obviously too high as this new entry only proves to disappoint on many levels . . .

The story has Sarah (played by Argento's daughter Asia Argento), studying art restoration at a Museum in Rome. Examining an ancient urn there she unwittingly unleashes the power of an evil witch known as the ''Mother of Tears'' played by Moran Atias. Once free, the world (well, Rome) is plunged into darkness and chaos with a wave of suicides and crime sweeping across Italy's capital (think '28 weeks later' without the budget), leading to a climatic confrontation between Sarah (who discovers her latent supernatural powers ala a Harrry Potter style ghost effect (Daria Nicolodi in a strange cameo) and the Third Mother in a broken down gothic house in the heart of Italy. And in a nutshell, thats it.

Argento fails to bring his usual array of cinematic tricks (strong colour schemes, weird camera angles and bad acting are mostly absent . . . well, maybe not the bad acting) to fill his latest effort. After his ''best of/compilation'' movie 'Sleepless', Argento has rarely reclaimed the glory days of his late 1970s/mid 1980s output - gone are the explicit gore and clever camera trickery of 'Opera' or 'Tenebrae' and now he seems intent to produce dull horror exercises that only barely offer the bare bones entertainment that he used to.

Very fast and fun film. I liked the pace, the story, even the Actors: Philippe Le Roy would deserve a Whole film only for his great character Guglielmo De Witt! Good Dario Argento film, in my opinion. What I don't like in this film about witches is...the witches! Too Cyndi Lauper without any charisma. And I do not like the Mother Of Tears. But you know, she's not important in the film, what's important is the general atmosphere, just like it was in Suspiria and Inferno: in those films too the end is abrupt and could have been better. But you enjoy the ride. This film is completely different from the first two, and I think this brings fresh air to the whole story of the three mothers.
