Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming remake occupies two very different spaces in my mind. It's both something I don't need in my life (a remake of Dario Argento's 1977 classic) but also made by people whose work had quickly become essential viewing. I've decided to allow myself to be excited about this film.
And the fact that we still don't know much about a movie only two months away from release troubles me not at all. If you've ever seen the original SUSPIRIA you already know its story is nonsense. Argento is a bit like artist Will Eisner in that his work is its own raison d'être. SUSPIRIA doesn't need to justify its own existance with such trivial details as "plot" and "character" because it's not about any of those things. SUSPIRIA is about Dario Argento. And I'm ready and willing to hear what Guadagnino has to say about Argento in his remake.
SUSPIRIA comes out October 26. Below are a collection of images from the new trailer, which you can watch for yourself at the bottom of this post.
