Suspiria er over årene steget til at være min favorit-Argento, og derfor har jeg - som så mange andre fans - været temmelig negativt indstillet overfor idéen om en genindspilning - og så oven i købet en, der er produceret af Amazon. For mig har det tændt en masse advarselslamper.
Men jeg, og skal jeg tro på de kommentarer, jeg har læst på nettet siden i går, så også en masse andre fans, er vendt på en tallerken, efter teaseren blev lagt op i går.
Nu er jeg faktisk nysgerrig!
Jeg er vild med, at instruktøren har taget grundhistorien og gjort den til sin egen, i stedet for at gøre det mest oplagte: at forsøge at efterligne originalens stil og tone.
Argentos film lever jo netop stort set udelukkende gennem stilen - den er et sansebombardement, der sjældent er set lige. Men selv de mest hardcore fans vil nok indrømme, at historien er bedste fald er underspillet, og nogle vil sikkert mene, at den er ikke-eksisterende.
Luca Guadagninos remake ser ud til at forholde sig til originalen som John Carpenter gjorde det med sin The Thing i forhold til Nyby og Hawks The Thing From Another World. Den tager enkelte, centrale dele og bygger noget helt nyt op ud fra det.
Det er svært at sige endnu, hvordan resultatet bliver. Men Jeg er i hvert fald spændt!
Denne her beskrivelse af en enkelt scene, der blev vist ved et arrangement i april, gør heller ikke min nysgerrighed mindre:
The sequence volleyed back and forth between two locations: a dance studio where a crying young woman clawed at the mirrored walls, and another studio - in some other location, and without the mirrored walls - where Tilda Swinton was overseeing the routine of another dancer, played by Dakota Johnson.
At first, the connection between these two scenes wasn't clear, but soon enough it became evident that the routine being performed by Johnson was having an effect on the dancer in the mirrored room - as Johnson's body swirled about the studio space, the dancer in the first room was tossed around like a rag doll. Soon enough, hideous, grey, tumor-like growths appeared underneath the flesh of her abdomen. Shrieking in pain, the dancer's body was twisted and folded into a number of unnatural positions. In the second room, Swinton watched eagerly as Johnson continued to flit about the studio. Back to the mirrored room, and now the poor young lady's face was stretching into unnatural shapes, a toothy rictus letting forth a guttural howl. Her body folded again and again before the dancer wet herself, graphically, right there onscreen, a thick stream of drool pouring from her mouth. Eventually, Johnson's routine came to an end, and what was left in the other room was basically just a crumpled, leaking mess that used to be a human being.
