Underscored by Marcus's visit to an actress's
apartment (her wall of photos a dedication to her career in... why,
pictures, of course) and then to her son, who's living with a beautiful transvestite, gender is a slippery thing in Argento, charges of misogyny being something he's had difficulty dodging to the

pictures by Horst P. Horst of his elegant Roman
apartment.
