English title: The Stendhal Syndrome.
A police officer suffers from the titular disorder whereby an individual is prone to fainting or hallucinating under the effect of artworks. She is working on the case of a serial rapist turned serial killer and her investigation somehow gets entangled with her particular health condition.
I just couldn't find enjoyment in this. When one reads the premise, it looks full of potential, but that is misleading. Actually, that is one of the characteristics of the giallo genre: to coat a formulaic plot of policework and shocking violence with some extraneous 'arty' themes or environments. To be fair, it isn't an extremely bad movie and watching it is possible without great suffering. Let's just say that, should one make a movie out of one's filmviewing life, the experience of viewing this film will end up in the editing room floor.
Saw an English-dubbed version.
