the stendhal syndrome (1996)

AKA La sindrome di Stendhal.
"This guys a real wacko."
Policewoman Anna Manni (Asia Argento) is trying to catch a vicious rapist/killer. Unfortunately she suffers from 'Stendhal's syndrome', a psychosomatic disease that makes her prone to hallucinations when exposed to art. Knowing this the killer first lures her into the Uffizi museum, then later rapes her. Departing from his routine he does not kill her, and Anna is convinced he wants her alive for some reason.
Asia works hard as the troubled detective, in this departure by her father, who goes for a more realistic and brutal thriller style than usual.
