I love Dario’s “fade outs”. They leave an almost imperceptible afterimage, a glint of fading light in her eye. Not a traditional fade out at all but what I assume is him just crashing out all the lights on set and plunging it into darkness. The last shot of Tenebrae is the same. Of course, Tenebrae is a Catholic ritual involving the extinguishing of candles! Rather than just fade out normally, he exinguishes his modern candles and literally plunges the world into darkness. Just what you’d expect from the master, Mr. Argento.
