	Word Spy - Stendhal's syndrome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		They call it "Stendhal's syndrome" because the 19th-century French novelist is said to have been the first to write about the dizzying disorientation some tourists experience when they encounter masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance.
		For decades, the malaise was known as the "tourist disease." Stendhal, visiting Florence for the first time in 1817, suffered a mild attack of the madness.
		Note, too, that a similar affliction is the Jerusalem syndrome (1987), which hits tourists who visit the holy city of Jerusalem and are overcome by the mental weight of its history and significance.

	Stendhal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contemporary readers did not fully appreciate Stendhal's realistic style during the Romantic period in which he lived; he was not fully appreciated until the beginning of the 20th century.
		Stendhal was an avid fan of music, particularly the composers Cimarosa, Mozart, and Rossini, the latter of whom he wrote an extensive biography, Vie de Rossini (1824), now more valued for its wide-ranging musical criticism than for its historical accuracy.
		Stendhal's brief, saucy memoir, Souvenirs d'Egotisme (Memoirs of an Egotist) was published posthumously in 1892.

	Stendhal syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stendhal syndrome or Stendhal's syndrome is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, confusion and even hallucinations when the individual is exposed to an overdose of beautiful art, paintings and artistic masterpieces.
		The syndrome was first diagnosed in 1982, and it is said that "more than half the patients are tourists from European countries, Italians, on the other hand, seem to be immune to the condition, along with the Japanese, who are apparently so organized in their sight-seeing that they rarely have time for emotional attacks."
		There is also a horror film called The Stendhal Syndrome (penned and directed by Dario Argento) in which a policewoman suffering from a dramatized Stendhal syndrome is trapped by a serial rapist and killer in a museum.

	Art Attack
		Stendhal was particularly shaken when he saw the tomb of Michelangelo and the Giotto frescoes in the chapels of Santa Croce, which I undoubtedly skipped, believing San Marco had fulfilled my church quota.
		The Stendhal syndrome is often referred to as "an overdose of art." I planned to visit Florence and cram the visual equivalent of a Duane Reade's worth of pills into a mere three days.
		This was because the Stendhal syndrome happened when someone subconsciously transferred his or her own psychological issues onto a painting, or, more likely, a detail of a painting, that had personal associations.

	Stendhal
		Stendhal's subjects are often melodramatic, but they form a fascinating frame for his psychologically deep stories of selfishness and different paths towards self-discovery.
		Stendhal's mother died when he was seven, and his pious aunt took care of his education with a Jesuit priest; he hated them both.
		Stendhal's political views were full of contradictions: his lack of success fueled his hostility towards the prevailing order but later, after achieving fame, he became a moderate conservative.

	Horrorview.Com: Stendhal Syndrome
		Cavanna judges the strange symptoms she experienced at the gallery as being attributable to the Stendhal Syndrome: a malady first identified in 1817 by the French writer Stendhal, as an extreme emotional reaction to great works of art leading to feelings of anxiety, hallucinations and personality changes.
		Now living with her father in the quite town of Viterbo, the emotionally fragile Anna is forced to confront the familiar issues her job had previously enabled her to evade: the loss of her mother at a young age and her detachment from her emotionally distant father.
		But in "The Stendhal Syndrome" something even more subtly self-referencing is going on; the film often seems to be commenting on its self as it proceeds and drawing attention to it's own status as a piece of cinematic art.

	Horrorview.Com: The Stendhal Syndrome (Arrow Films)
		Anna suffers from a bizarre affliction (the Stendhal syndrome) which causes her to experience disturbing hallucinations whenever confronted with great works of art -- a fact which her attacker discovers and quickly exploits.
		This, and her Stendhal syndrome affliction, combine to undermine her sense of identity and bring her an unwanted mental connection with the rapist; and although it may eventually help to capture him it could also have awful consequences for her sanity!
		With a budget of only $3.5 million, "The Stendhal Syndrome" was the lowest budgeted movie Argento had yet produced, a fact which only added to the perception of many that his career was now in a terminal state of decline.

	The Stendhal Syndrome
		The Stendhal Syndrome was Ennio Morricone's fourth score for director Dario Argento, & remains, to my mind at least, their best to date- at least in musical if not cinematic terms.
		You see, the lead character (played by the director’s daughter Asia) suffers from the eponymous syndrome, which means that she gets emotionally overwhelmed when confronted with great works of art.
		When the Stendhal theme returns in the final track, it hasn’t changed from when it was first heard — the story has come full circle, the characters' fate, inevitably sealed from the opening frame, has now come to pass.

		According to the film, this is "the Stendhal Syndrome," an intense and overwhelming response to art that turns the viewer mad.
		A sadistic and disturbing psychological exploration driven by the horrifying concept of a rape victim who begins to take on her attacker's dark persona, Dario Argento's The Stendhal Syndrome is ultimately a victim of it's own excess and the director's tendency to overcomplicate a fairly simple storyline.
		While she is there, she falls victom to the stendhal syndrome (that is, having a physical reaction to a powerful emotional piece of art) which catches the attention of the killer.

		Manni also suffers from a condition known as the "Stendahl Syndrome." People who suffer with the condition are said to experience great psychological trauma when in the presence of great works of art.
		When she experiences the Stendahl Syndrome she is actually drawn into the paintings and into the world of the serial killer whom she is stalking.
		There are some interesting images such as a slow-motion close up of a bullet passing through a woman's cheek, and a shot of pills actually travelling down an esophagus after being swallowed, but they don't really blend seamlessly enough into the rest of the film.

		Termed the Stendhal syndrome after the French writer who first wrote of it, this affliction leads Anna into the clutches of the serial killer/rapist she is pursuing.
		As for the Stendhal syndrome itself, it is actually a real condition, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it's one of those ludicrous devices Argento loves to throw into his plots — vengeful ravens in Opera, or the imprinted final image on the retina of a corpse in Four Flies on Grey Velvet.
		The Stendhal Syndrome was his darkest, nastiest film since Tenebrae, and despite the levels of violence inflicted upon women throughout his filmography, this was the first time he'd tackled sexual violence head on.

		""Stendhal syndrome" has become a commonly used expression to refer to a traveller's psychological disturbance triggered by a work of art.
		Magherini applied Stendhal's name to the cluster of symptoms she observed and studied, because in 1817 the French writer described a severe malaise he suffered while visiting and viewing the marvels of the church of Santa Croce in Florence."

		In the first scene of Dario Argento's movie, Anna Manni (Dario's daughter, Asia) experiences such a severe case of the Stendhal Syndrome that she passes out, cuts her lip, and doesn't seem to know who she is when she recovers her balance.
		There is a flashback story to the first time she experienced the Stendhal Syndrome as a child.

	The Stendhal Syndrome
		Advanced word on The Stendhal Syndrome, promised the kind of nasty shocks and thrills for which he was best known, but when the film was released, fans reacted negatively to its nihilistic tone and realistic presentation of the emotional scars
		In short, while Stendhal delivers the goods in the gore department, it is not at all a fun movie - this is a mean-spirited, downbeat and depressing journey into the heart of darkness that ends on the most despairing note of anything Argento has done to date.
		It's not the most glamorous role in the world, to be sure, and she handles the various psychological states of Anna - coquettish one second, frightened the next, seething with rage after that - without missing a beat.

		One interpretation I find quite credible is that it is at this point that, far from being cured, she is completely overcome by the syndrome and everything on-screen from then on is her hallucinations.
		It is interesting that she claims to have stopped suffering from the syndrome after she kills him, while at the same time she also starts wearing a wig that is the same colour as Alfredo’s hair (and, as is later revealed, continues to carry out his “work”).
		This release of The Stendhal Syndrome presents the film in a 16x9-enhanced aspect ratio of 1.78:1.

	alternate stendhal syndrome review 2
		Hence, in the Stendhal Syndrome, Asia's father in the film is depicted as a hostile, malicious figure-- but he is a figure which she cannot escape.
		Ultimately, The Stendhal Syndrome is about the deep, primal bonds which keep us together as humans, and which can be deadly if too harshly enforced.
		At the end of the film, which I won't reveal, Asia finally escapes from the bond of both her father and the serial killer, but with the menacing music playing over the closing credits, we know that the dark force will always be over Asia, watching over her every move, and protecting her.
