Description

Dario Argento's Suspiria (1976) is a poetic and chaotic horror film that continues to captivate audiences with its aggressive stylistic hyperactivity. This book explores the complex ways in which Argento weaves together light, sound, and cinema history to construct one of the most breathtaking horror movies of all time. Argento's notorious disinterest in plot and characterisation is reflected in his use of cinematic techniques that render the film a movie that needs to be experienced through the body as much as through emotion or intellect. For fans and critics alike, Suspiria remains an impenetrable yet mesmerising work that continues to inspire retrospectives and reappraisals. This book offers a new perspective on one of the most globally recognisable instances of 20th century Eurohorror, shedding light on the enduring fascination of Argento's baroque nightmare.
