Sleepless is a 2001 film directed by Dario Argento, the undisputed master of Italian giallo and horror cinema. After a series of films that did not meet expectations, *Sleepless* marked Argento’s return to his giallo roots, with an intricate plot, palpable suspense, and the iconic soundtrack by Goblin. This film is a tribute to Argento’s earlier works, blending classic giallo elements with a modern twist, creating a cinematic experience that captivates and unsettles.

Clara Calamai debuted in 1938 with the epic film directed by Aldo Vergano, Pietro Micca, and quickly became highly popular, starring in several films from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Her full-frontal nude appearance in Alessandro Blasetti’s La cena delle beffe was the first “nature” scene in a sound film, causing a huge public scandal and leading to the movie being banned for viewers under 16 years old.
