Title: If you've seen one Argento giallo, you've seen them all
Review: Dario Argento's "Opera" is a skillful piece of filmmaking, as are the vast majority of his movies. The central problem with Argento's giallos (and most giallos in general) is this: I've seen it all before. Basically, Argento hit upon a certain style (both in terms of plot and technique) a long time ago, and he's spent three decades repeating himself. If you want to experience Argento, you should START with "Deep Red" -- and you should STOP with "Deep Red." "Opera" is tedious because it's just like all of Argento's other giallos. If I want to see the same movie over and over again, I'll watch "Deep Red" again; watching "Opera" is a waste of time.
