Why Dario Argento Agreed to Act in Gaspar Noe's Vortex
Argentine filmmaker Gaspar Noé's latest film Vortex is a thematic departure from his other films, and the unexpected addition of legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento in an acting role came with one strange caveat. Noé is known for being a transgressive artist, helming controversial films like Irreversible, Enter the Void, and Climax. His upcoming film Vortex revolves around an elderly couple wrestling with the crushing reality of dementia, told in an appropriately stylized split-screen presentation. The reasons behind Argento's involvement, however, are somewhat surprising.
