The film 'Suspiria' has captivated audiences for decades, and in 2018, director Luca Guadagnino took on the challenge of remaking Dario Argento's cult classic. But how does the remake compare to the original? In this podcast, we delve into the similarities, differences, and critical opinions surrounding these two films. From the tone and aesthetics to the plot twists and feminist themes, we explore what worked and what missed the mark in both versions of 'Suspiria.' Whether you're a fan of the original or curious about the remake, join us as we dissect this thrilling and controversial franchise. Dancing is more than just movement and rhythm. In the movie Suspiria, we see how dance can be portrayed as a form of magic. When Suzy, the newbie in the dance group, showcases her skills, Madame Blanc, the leader of the coven, sees her potential. There seems to be a spell or essence of Suspiria bestowed upon her, as her hands and feet glow during the dance. It's fascinating to see how the filmmakers have researched and created a magic system centered around dance. Your body, your movements, become the source of your magic. The scene is intense and powerful, showcasing the structure and rawness of their magic. The realism portrayed in the dance scenes is both unsettling and captivating. Unlike the stylized gore in the original Suspiria, we are presented with contorted bodies and gruesome movements that feel disturbingly real. The filmmakers intended to make it seem visceral and authentic, and they succeeded. The scene where Dakota Johnson's character Suzy dances while Olga's body is destroyed is unforgettable. It leaves a strong impact and, for some, may be hard to watch. The mixture of admiration for the artistry and discomfort adds to the overall experience of the movie. Whether you love or hate it, you can't deny the power of the dance scenes in the Suspiria remake. ---------- Connect with Ali on X. ---------- Support The Cinedicate on Patreon Connect with The Cinedicate on these social platforms!
