Experience Luca Gudagnino’s twisted re-imagining of Dario Argento’s 1977 cult classic this May when Suspiria arrives on Amazon Prime.
Starring Dakota Johnson, Oscar® winner and Golden Globe® nominee* Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton), Mia Goth, and Chloë Grace Moretz, the film features a haunting score by Thom Yorke.
Suspiria is Guadagnino’s directorial follow-up to the Oscar®-winning Call Me by Your Name (2017). Written by David Kajganich, Suspiria has received incredible critical praise. Variety’s Owen Gleiberman calls it a “lavishly cerebral high-end horror film” and a “divinely demonic spectacle of womanly power.”
The film centers on “young American dancer Susie Bannion (Johnson), who arrives in 1970s Berlin to audition for the world-renowned Helena Markos Dance Company, stunning the troupe’s famed choreographer, Madame Blanc, with her raw talent. When she vaults to the role of lead dancer, Olga, the previous lead, breaks down and accuses the company’s female directors of being witches. As rehearsals intensify for the final performance of the company’s signature piece, Susie and Madame Blanc grow strangely close, suggesting that Susie’s purpose in the company goes beyond merely dancing. Meanwhile, an inquisitive psychotherapist trying to uncover the company’s dark secrets enlists the help of another dancer, who probes the depths of the studio’s hidden underground chambers, where horrific discoveries await.”
Watch Suspiria in all its dark, twisted glory on Amazon Prime beginning May 3, 2019.
