Il film di Dario Argento più famoso nel mondo è finalmente disponibile con il nuovo e definitivo restauro in 4K, questa nuova versione è in assoluto la migliore mai apparsa finora e che va a demolire tutte le precedenti edizioni. La pellicola è stata ripulita all'inverosimile, grazie allo scan 4K il livello di definizione e profondità è impressionante da non sembrare vero e che rendono addirittura impossibile attribuire l'età del film al 1977, i nuovi colori molto carichi e saturi sono stati ricalibrati alla perfezione, il livello del rosso e del blu che in passato erano decisamente pesanti e fastidiosi ora sono addirittura il piacere visivo puro, in un contesto fotografico unico nella filmografia di Dario Argento, il nero perfetto, l'eccezionale nitidezza delle scene scure e le sfumature cromatiche fanno di questo restauro definitivo una vera e propria opera d'arte, a patto però che il tv sia regolato a dovere per poterne godere al meglio, da segnalare inoltre la ricostruzione in digitale dei titoli di testa e di coda fedeli a quelli originali. La qualità è eccellente in tutti i sensi, trovare difetti è quasi impossibile tranne qualche leggerissimo fuori fuoco dovuto alle cineprese dell'epoca ma che neanche si nota. l'audio si compone dell'originale mono piuttosto chiuso e del 5.1 DTS-HD master molto più aperto ma non proprio esaltante considerata l'età della traccia. Purtroppo per quanto riguarda gli extra c'è solo
un'intervista a Dario Argento (28min), un pò poco per questa edizione evento attesa da troppi anni dagli appassionati. Un film da vedere e rivedere all'infinito che non può mancare agli appassionati dell'horror e di Dario Argento.

"Suspiria" (1977) di Dario Argento.

Recensito in Italia il 13 dicembre 2023

Dopo "Profondo rosso" Dario Argento sentiva l'esigenza di dare una svolta al
suo cinema. Non più il thriller in tutte le
sue declinazioni, bensì, 'horror'.
Un horror, tuttavia, alla sua maniera 'ipnotica e misteriosa', così poco americana,
impregnata di suggestioni e simbologie medianiche.
Per chi scrive il miglior Argento rimane ancora quello legato al thriller, ciò non toglie che "Suspiria" sia uno dei capolavori
della sua filmografia.
Non mi dilunghero' molto sul film che è
ormai 'leggenda', ma sulla qualità di questa
edizione in dvd.
CARATTERISTICHE TECNICHE :
Si tratta di una delle prime edizioni della
pellicola, rimasterizzata in HD. Uscita nel
2004 a cura della Eagle Pictures in una
versione a due dischi. Per l'epoca in cui fu
editata era un riversamento assolutamente
ragguardevole, poi soppiantato dalle altre
edizioni uscite negli anni seguenti.
Nel disco 1 abbiamo il film in tutto il suo
splendore. Nitidezza e qualità visiva non
vengono mai meno, evidenziando i cromatismi fotografici voluti da Argento e
dal suo direttore della fotografia Luciano
Tovoli. Anche il comparto audio risulta aperto e dinamico, con il Dolby Digital
Surround che ottiene delle sonorità strepitose e coinvolgenti. Traccia audio in
italiano (con sottotitoli per non udenti),
un po' chiusa e bloccata in alcune espansioni, mentre la traccia inglese (sottotitolata) risulta perfettamente chiara
e modulata.
Nel disco 2 grande abbondanza di materiale extra (quasi due ore). Oltre alla
genesi del film raccontata dettagliatamente da Dario Argento e da
Luciano Tovoli, vi è un illuminante intervento dei Goblin, il gruppo musicale che ha collaborato più volte col 'Maestro',
i quali rievocano il loro rapporto col regista
e come nascevano le partiture musicali che
hanno reso i suoi film indimenticabili.
Per chi non possiede le recenti edizioni
rimasterizzate in 4 k e in brd è senz'altro un
ottimo suggerimento per unire un buon
connubio qualità - prezzo, vista l'accessibilta' economica di questa edizione
rispetto alle altre.

Non sono gli specchi incrinati a causare la sfortuna, ma le menti incrinate.

Capolavoro indiscusso della cinematografia, "Suspiria" è dopo quarantadue anni, un film sempre fresco e giovane che non sente il peso degli anni. Sembra uscito al cinema l'anno scorso. Il lavoro di restauro è stato notevole, supervisionato da Luciano Tovoli, l'allora direttore di fotografia del film: sono partiti dai negativi originali e le matrici Technicolor, utilizzando anche gli interpositivi dove necessario, e ridato esattamente le stesse luci e colori che erano stati pensati nel 1977. L'audio credo sia stato semplicemente trascritto dal magnetico originale, mentre la sequenza finale è stata "indirizzata" ai canali aggiuntivi del DTS: all'epoca "Suspiria" era stato masterizzato in Stereo con downmix in mono, non esistevano ancora il Dolby SR e simili. Nei contenuti speciali si trova anche un'intervista a Dario Argento, peccato non aver incluso l'intervista Rai fatta durante le lavorazioni di mixage e stampa del film. Mi aspettavo una copertina un pò più rigida, il disco rischia sempre di cadere, non si fissa bene. Per quanto riguarda il film, dentro ci si trovano: Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcok, la cinematografia sovietica, per chi se ne intende capisce che Dario Argento è prima di tutto un amante del cinema ed un esteta. Inoltre, "Suspiria" è stato fonte d'ispirazione per numerosi registi, tra cui Quentin Tarantino ed altri grandi.

SUSPIRIA en 4K UHD es como verla por 1ra vez de nueva cuenta !!!

Recensito in Messico il 16 giugno 2021

Como fan del Terror, "Suspiria" siempre ha sido una joya dentro del genero, y cuando me entere que saldría esta nueva edición restaurada en 4K UHD con HDR no dude en comprarla. El precio es alto debido a que fue realizada por Synapse una compañía boutique que debe recuperar su inversión, y el precio vale la pena pues la calidad supero mis expectativas, verla en 4K es una experiencia totalmente nueva, con mejores colores y contraste, luces vibrantes y negros profundos. No creo que nadie la haya visto así antes, ni siquiera en el cine. De hecho, esta es una de las joyas de mi colección de UHD 4K, junto con clásicos como "Halloween", "E.T." o "JAWS".

Esta edición incluye Slipcover y por dentro trae la portada original de toda la vida pero es reversible y la puedes cambiar a la portada nueva. Si te dices fan del Genero de Terror debes tener esta edición SI o SI

Excellent Release, Beautiful Picture for Classic Italian Horror Film

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 novembre 2018

This review is for the Blu-ray edition of 'Suspiria' released by Synapse films in March, 2018.

If you are a fan of this movie then this is a must have. The picture is as good as it gets.

In my opinion this is a 5 star release.

WHAT DOES SUSPIRIA MEAN? I had no idea what this meant so I did a little digging.
The actual definition means something like 'sighs'.
The latin phrase "Suspiria de profundis" mean "sighs from the depths".
"Suspiria de profundis" is also the title of a piece of literature by a well known English essayist, Thomas De Quincey.
'Suspirara' in latin means breathing. 'Suspiria' therefore would mean something along the lines of 'taking a deep breath'.
They talk about this briefly in one of the feauturettes as having something to do with the witches but I'm still not sure if the word has something to do with witchcraft.

BLU-RAY: This is a new 4K restoration of the original uncut Italian 35mm camera negative done by Synapse films. It is a beauty. The colors are very bright and the picture has virtually no flaws. It is as clear as the day they filmed it. There are subtitles available and the movie is also dubbed in English.

EXTRA's: The extra's are top notch. You get:
-Two audio commentareis by Derek Botelho, David Del Valle and Troy Howarth.
-Featurette - 'Suzy in Germany' - This goes through the locations used in the film both then and today.
-Featurette - 'A sigh from the Depths: 40 years of SUSPIRIA - a bunch of historians reflect on the movie 40 years later.
-Featurette-'Do You Know Anything About Witches'- This is an very informative 30 minute visual essay that goes a long way toward explaining some of my questions. It answers some of the things I say in the section down below called A FEW THINGS I'M STILL UNSURE ABOUT.

PRODUCTION: This movie was made in 1977 and was released under a shell company of 20th Century Fox.
-Even though the movie is set in Germany, it was largely filmed in Rome, Italy.
-Dario Argento got his inspiration for this movie from 'Suspiria de Profundis' by Thomas De Quincey which was written in 1845.
-This is the first movie in Argento's 'Three Mothers' Trilogy. The other two movies are 'Inferno' and 'Mother of Tears'.
-Suzy Banyon's character was supposed to be based on 'Snow White'.
-Each actor/actress spoke their own language and the movie was then dubbed into Italian and English.
-The story itself was initially supposed to be a fairy tale but ended up sort of a hybrid fairy tale.
-The school was supposed to be populated with young girls but production codes at the time would have never allowed for it. Argento didn't completely give in. He had the door handles raised to make the girls appear smaller. Also he made the point of having high ceilings.

PLOT/SUMMARY: An American ballet student, Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper), flies to Germany to attend a prestigious ballet school. Suzy arrives at the school late in the evening. As she gets to the front entrance, she see an angry girl leaving and can make out two words she days, 'secret' and 'iris'. When she tries to get in, the person speaking on the intercom tells her to go away, which she does. She goes to the school in the morning and meets a tough instructor, Miss Tanner, and the headmistress, Madame Blanc. She is told that she must get a rental apartment briefly and she goes to stay with one of the other students named Olga.

During one of Suzy's first classes, she gets sick and starts bleeding. The doctor keeps her at the school and orders her to be given a glass of wine every day. Suzy is given a room next to Sara. Sara reveals that she was the girl on the intercom the first night. Suzy and Sara become friends. A few disappearances occur at the school and Sara becomes suspicious. She confides with Suzy. They figure out that the school supervisors are not leaving at night but are walking to unknown parts of the school. One night while Suzy is passing out from being drugged, Sara goes in search of the hidden place that the supervisors go to. Sara is killed. Suzy is told that Sara packed her bags and abruptly left the school. Suzy, suspecting that something is wrong, calls and meets a friend of Sara's, Frank Mandel. Mandel is a psychiatrist who used to treat Sara. He introduces Suzy to another psychiatrist, Professor Milius. From these people, Suzy learns that the school was founded by an alleged witch, Helena Markos. She also learns about covens. She is told that Markos died in a fire at the school many years ago.

Armed with the knowledge about the school's history, Sara's notes and her now complete recollection of what the girl leaving the school said on the first night, Suzy goes poking around the school to find out what is really going on.

COMMENTS: I just watched this movie the night before this review and haven't spent a whole lot of time researching this movie but here is what my thoughts are.
-I liked how this movie kept me guessing about some things right to the final scene. I tend to get bored in horror movies once the mysterious killer is revealed, as the rest of the movie is usually just a game of cat and mouse and the director usually attempts to come up with some creative way to end it. I could guess some of what was going to happen but I was never really sure to what extant all the people were involved. I wasn't really sure if Helena Markos was still alive or if she just passed down her knowledge.
-I think this was a good movie. I do not think it was a great movie. There are all kinds of ways to rank movies. I look for an engaging plot. If you don't have that then you don't have a great movie. I think this movie has a good plot but by no means is it great. Atmosphere is a big thing to me also. This movie has it to some extent, just not quite what I'm looking for.
-The musical score is unusual. It seems to combine elements of different horror movies. Sometimes it reminds me of 'The Exorcist' other times it reminds me of 'The Omen' and others. Whatever it is, it is quite effective. Without it, I believe many of the scenes would have been considerably less 'creepy'.
-There are a lot of things that I didn't understand the meaning of. This is not to say that these are complicated things and that the plot lost me. I'm saying I just didn't understand why these scenes were in the movie. Here is a list of those things right below:

A FEW THINGS (NOT COMPLAINTS) I'M STILL UNSURE ABOUT: These are some things that I don't quite 'get'. Either I missed or forgot about parts of the dialogue or the meaning just went over my head.
-I didn't quite understand how the girl could be running through the black forest and be so close to the center of the city. That opening scene was a bit disconcerting. Was she running because she was scared or because she was in the rain on a stormy night? She didn't seem to be running for her life as nobody was chasing her so I'm not sure.
-What was the point of the maggots falling from the ceiling? I didn't catch the meaning of this. Was this just a way to setup the next scene, which I also don't quite understand? That scene was...
-The scene in the gymnasium. Why did the directoress come to the gymnasium to sleep? and once the girls figured out who was behind the curtain sleeping, why didn't they look? Or perhaps they did look but the movie doesn't show you?
-I completely missed out on the reason for making the dog violent and killing the blind pianist. They obviously wanted to get rid of the pianist. Why? I understand why they killed off the others. The other people that died had learned the secret of the witches. But the pianist was blind and they gave no indication that he knew anything, at least as far as I can see. Why make the dog violent?... why fire the pianist and why kill the pianist?
-What was Olga's role? She becomes Suzy's roommate and then right after that Suzy goes back to the school and we never see her again. I'm not exactly sure what the point of this storyline was. Why make her leave for such a brief time just to come right back to the school? Was this just to show her stubborness when she decided she didn't want to board at the school?
-What was the reason for the bat? It enters and Suzy dispatches it rather easily. Was the bat influenced by witchcraft? If so, what was it's purpose? It obviously wasn't all that dangerous. It couldn't have been sent by the witches to attack Suzy because you see the order given to eliminate her well after that scene. It couldn't have been sent to spy on her or be somebody's 'eyes'. It was too obvious for that.
-Was there a purpose for the setting being a ballet school? That seems like a very odd place for a coven of witches to be doing business. Could it be as simple as it's as good a cover as any?
-I'm still not sure why they were drugging Suzy. Why have her stay at the school at all if they were concerned with her? Why not let her stay with Olga so she can't figure out anything at the school? Why did they decide to kill her? Were they originally planning on making her a witch? To me, this whole main story line was unclear.

*****QUESTIONS ANSWERED*****I watched one of the featurettes and it did explain some of what I wanted to know. The girl running through the forest was supposed to mimic a scene from 'Snow White'. Olga apparently was most likely supposed to be a witch. One of her scenes ended up being not shot but that wouldn't really have changed anything. My confusion is justified as many of the scenes were in fact 'red herrings' or for whatever reason, Argento never finished some of the plot lines he was developing.

MY NITPICKS: The purpose of this section is not to 'slam' the movie. It's just to point out that no movie is perfect in my eyes and there are always things that could have been done better. Overall, I think this was a good movie.
-Ultimately, what makes this movie so memorable is the very bright colors and lighting.It is something that I did not really like. It was different. I get it... it's part of what makes this movie so memorable. I just didn't like the constant use of it. More specifically the lighting. The painted buildings and rooms are not the issue for me. The colored lighting just seemed out of place a lot of the time. I think it would have been more effective had Argento used it more strategically. For example, I see no reason for the lighting to be all red right at the beginning while she was in the airport. I think a scene like that should have been similar to the scene where Suzy meets the psychiatric doctors at the corporate park. The lighting becomes more effective when you don't see it the whole time. Think of how effective the 'Wizard of Oz' was going from black & white to color.
-The blood didn't look very much like blood other than the fact it was red. It just looked like paint, which is what it probably was. One of the problems of such beautiful restorations and watching in such high resolution is that flaws in the special effects are magnified.
-The girl who falls into the room with the razorwire doesn't actually get cut up by the razor wire. She did a lot of struggling in it and didn't appear to be cut at all. The only blood on her was from her previous wound. Perhaps it wasn't razor wire? Was it just put there to entangle her like a net? If it was razor wire what was it doing there? Was it intentionally put there? There didn't seem to be any use for it at the ballet school.
-I thought the scene where Suzy meets the psychiatrist's was out of place. On the one hand it does take some pressure
off of the tension that is prevalent throughout. But somehow it just doesn't seem to belong in the movie. You go from almost surreal to the real world. I don't like it for just one scene. If going back and forth between realities was part of the movie then it would be OK but in this case it happens just once.
-Finally, the final scene. Two things here...
1) I didn't like Suzy's reaction at the very end. Her smile was just wrong. Instead of looking like she was relieved, like she should have been, she had a big smile, almost as if somebody just told her a joke... The reaction doesn't seem to be the proper reaction for what she just went through especially since the school was on fire and crumbling and people were dying.
2 ) I didn't like how Argento ended the movie. It just didn't seem right. The music with the direct jump to the credits just seemed out of place to me.

CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS: I'm giving this release 5 stars. The picture is 4 1/2 to 5 stars. The extra's are 5 stars and the movie... let's call it 4 stars. But overall this is a 5 star release.

This is about as good as a release as you can get for this particular movie. If you are a fan, it is worth the upgrade.

Recommended for fans of Italian horror and/or 'Giallo' films and obviously Dario Argento fans.
Recommended for fans of 70's horror films.
Recommended for fans of any good horror movie, anytime, anywhere.

Es kommt...langsam, die Musik und die Geräusche künden es an

Recensito in Germania il 27 giugno 2019

SUSPIRIA, ich meine damit DEN Original aus dem Jahr 1977 von Dario Argento. Das Remake aus dem Jahr 2018 wird hier NICHT besprochen...es können noch so viele gute Schauspieler*innen da sein, Argento ist NICHT zu toppen.

Nach Jahren habe ich mir den Film wieder angeschaut.
Ich bedanke mich bei unserem Zauberer, der uns (mir) immer wieder wunderbare Rezensionen liefert, gerade in den Berreich Giallo Filmgenre, Horror usw. Er weiß schon, was ich meine.
Und weil gerade seine Rezension aus dem Jahr 2014 perfekt ist, wird mein Teil hier nur eine Sicht, nicht mehr.

Ich mag Dario Argento, und zwar mag ich seine versteckte Andeutungen, die manchmal ziemlich leicht zu durschschauen sind (das will er auch). Ich liebe sein Spiel mit der Kamera, mit den Lichteffekten. Mit wenigen Worten, ohne den/die Hauptdarsteller*in überhaupt zu zeigen, erzeugt er einen permanenten Schauer, der mir in dieser Hitze eine "Kälte" über den Rücken zurücklässt...

Warum hat er den Film nach Freiburg im Breisgau "verlegt"? Ist es wegen den "Haus zum Walfisch"? Ich war neulich erst dort (leider zu kurz), habe mir das Haus, das Portal angesehen, es ist diese ROTE Farbe, die Argento in dem Film verwendet. Und, es sind die Treppen und vieles mehr, das Innere hat Argento dann auch nach seinem Geschmack verändert. Für die Handlung, natürlich - zum Guten!
Wir sehen die junge Amerikanerin, Suzy Banyon (Jessica Harper), die in München ankommt und nach Freiburg weiterreist. Als sie vor dem Haus, in dem sie Balletunterricht nehmen wird, ankommt, lauft im strömenden Regen eine junge Frau aus dem Haus. Suzy klopft an, man lässt sie aber nicht hinein. Sie schläft in der Nacht dann in der Stadt.

Am nächsten Tag kommt sie dann in die Schule, wo sie Madame Blank (Joan Bennett) und Marie Tanner (Alida Valli), die Leiterinnen, begrüßen. Sie sagen ihr, man hat sie gestern nicht gehört. Es war ein Gewitter und somit ware die Geräusche draußen nicht zu hören, außen den Regen...
Die Schule ist groß, es gibt viele Räume. Madame Blank zeigt Suzy die Übungsräume und will ihr Können testen. Man übt sehr konzentriert und unter strengen Aufsicht, die Schüler*innen sollten schon einiges wissen und können.

Als Suzy in der Schule ein Zimmer bekommt, fühlt sie sich nicht wohl. Die Farben stören sie, rot, dann kommt ein kräftiges Gelb dazu, überall sieht man Fenster, einige bemalt wie in der Kirche. Und es ist verwinkelt, man verliert sich in den Korridoren. Das Haus scheint ein Eigenleben zu haben. Einige Schülerinnen berichten über die Seufzer (Suspiria, lat.) in der Nacht. Man hört die Türen, die laut zuschlagen...
Suzy freundet sich mit Sandra (Stefania Casini) an. Als Suzy einen Schwächeanfall hat, verordnet ihr der Doktor eine Diät und ein Glas Rotwein für das Blut. Der Hausdiener Pavel (Giuseppe Transocchi), ein Rumäne, der angeblich nicht die Sprache versteht, serviert ihr das Abendessen und kontroliert, ob sie es gegessen hat. Sandra kommt öfter zu ihr, doch Suzy ist schläfrig und kann ihr nie genau zuhören.
Sandra hat indessen etwas über Patricia gehört, das Mädchen, das damals geflüchtet ist. Sie sei tot. Sandra erzählt von den Gerüchten, die man sich über das Haus erzählt. Auch über eine mächtige Hexe...
Die beiden "Lehrerinnen" sollen jeden Abend nach Hause gehen, doch Sandra zählt die Schritte und merkt, dass eine von ihnen sicher nicht immer zu Hause schläft. Vielmehr, sie bleibt hier, im Haus.

Die Mädchen und auch einige Jungs werden zwar streng unterrichtet, aber hinter der Fassade lauert etwas. Wartet etwas, was besonders junge Mädchen braucht...Etwas, dass einen blinden Klavierspieler zu dem Opfer macht...
Sandra will mehr erfahren...Und sucht nach den Antworten.
Am nächsten Tag sagen die Damen, sie wird nicht mehr kommen, sie sei nach Hause gereist. Suzy kann das nicht glauben, sie ruft sie an und stellt fest - man hat sie belogen.
Am Abend wirft sie das Essen weg, trinkt den Wein nicht und begiebt auch sie sich auf die Suche.
Das Haus ist viel größer, als sie denkt. Sie geht den Geräuschen nach, sieht die Damen und hört dabei (und den jungen Neffen), wie sie über ein Mädchen sprechen, das verschwinden muß...Suzy geht weiter, kommt in ein Teil des Hauses, der mit vielen Zeichen "beschrieben" wird. Und sieht dort...

Was macht den Film zum KULT, den das ist er auf jeden Fall? Was schon viele in den Besprechungen über das GENIE Argento geschrieben haben, so denke auch ich. Der braucht diesmal weniger "Schock", weniger Blut als in manchen seinen anderen Filmen (oder überhaupt im Giallo Genre). Die Musik, die von der Band "Goblin" gespielt wird, ist sehr schön, hat wenig "Horror-Elemente", aber gerade diese Schönheit, die wiederkehrende Töne, die an die Musik aus den 17. Jhr erinnert, all das macht den Film perfekt. Die Musik gibt den Film die Hand und umgekehrt. Man erwartet nicht, das bei solcher Musik auch Blut zu sehen ist. Aber, die Musik kündet ganz "klassisch" an, man weiß, es wird etwas geschehen...und dann kommt es. Nie gezwungen, immer langsam und perfekt.
Die Metapher sind ein sehr bedeutender Teil des Geschehens. Sowohl die rote Farbe (Liebe, aber auch Blut...), wie die Mädchen, alle jung, sehr unschuldig, wegen des Ballets "ohne" viele weiblichen Attributten. Sie sollen "wie Knaben" aussehen - aber, doch Frauen sein. Die erotische Note ist auch hier vorhanden. Und ist wichtig!
Die Kameraeinstellungen, die das Grauen von weiten zeigen, unsere Imagination anregen - um uns am Ende doch zu schockieren.
Die vielen Fenster, in denen Mann sowohl die Mädchen sieht, wie auch die Schatten, das Spiel mit Licht und Dunkel, klassisch mit dem Gewitter.
Es bleibt immer noch so viel verborgen. Und ist auch nicht wichtig, wie wir uns das Ende vorstellen. Es gibt ja eine Vorsetzung (das dritte Teil ist nicht meins), alle haben nur ein Thema gemeinsam...eine Frau, eine Hexe und ihre Kraft.
Mein Gedanke? Waren die Hexen immer schlecht, schuldig? Oder, waren sie im Mittelalter DIE Frauen, die man heute als emanzipert nennt? Wobei, Emanzipation ist die normalste Sache, oder sollte sie wenigstens sein, werden...

Dario Argent hat hier mit Alida Valli, Joan Bennett den großen Schauspieler*innen perfekte Rollen gegeben. Aber, auch Jessica Harper macht ihre Sache sehr gut.
Noch ein Wort zu "Inferno" (1980), die Vorsetzung, hm, gut, dort ist die Musik von Keith Emerson zu hören (Emerson, Lake and Palmer - eine meiner liebsten Bands, schon früher mit Nice", was nur das besagt, was ich ankünden will - Inferno ist eine würdige Vorsetzung...obwohl, ein Film für sich.
Noch einmal, danke an alle Rezensenten, der Zauberer hat sicher noch etliche Ideen, wie man die Besprechung zur Perfektion machen kann.
Mehr als 5 P kann ich nicht geben.

Susperia (1977) - The one and only 1970s classic suspense horror, please forget the remake.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 16 maggio 2019

In 1977, Dario Argento decided to broaden his horizons, and delve into the supernatural of witchcraft. He decided to do the greatest trilogy in film history (two great movies (Susperia and Inferno), and the final not so great (yes, you guest it The Mother of Tears)) calling it ‘The Three Mothers Trilogy’ blending Horror and Suspense plus Art Deco along the way. When American Actress Jessica Harper’s protagonist character ‘Susan Bannion’ see a beautiful big red gothic house that represents her dance academy then her spellbinding adventure really has just begun.

Both Jessica Harper, along with Stefania Casini, Barbara Magnolfi, Alida Valli, and a cameo appearance by German actor Udo Keir all shine in this fantastic 1977 cult classic, but all acting credits should go to American actress Joan Bennett as this was her final movie before retiring. And what a movie go out on.

And with the 1970s Italian Prog Rockers Goblin performing was a magical music score was a stoke of genius blending a blend of gothic electronica and subliminal messaging in the opening credits to start this first part of this great trilogy, along with the second part of the trilogy the wonderful, dark, mysterious and spellbinding 1980 sequel ‘Inferno’ crafted in a gothic atmosphere. As I mentioned in my review of Dario Argento’s Inferno (1980), I said that it’s a pity that Dario Argento waited so long for the last of the trilogy, in my opinion ‘Mother Of Tears’ should have done it either in 1986 or 1987, and set it in a posh Italian Board School (with British styled formal posh school uniforms for the actors who are playing the students) with cameo appearances by Jessica Harper and Leigh McCloskey as their main characters from Susperia and Inferno, with a blend of existing and new actors and actresses from Italy, France, Germany, Britain, Canada and America. The third movie should have the same dark style of the first two movies with the same dark and evil surprise at the end when they discover who is the Third Mother, and have either Goblin or Keith Emerson do the music score. I think my version would have been a lot better than the woeful 2007 ‘Mother Of Tears’. But Dario wanted to get back to Italian Giallo Movies, which lead him to create his 1980s Movie Masterpieces ‘Tenebrae’ (1982), ‘Phenomena’ (1985) and his last masterpiece in my opinion was ‘Opera’ (1987).

Please get this in either DVD or Blu Ray Format as it’s a million time better than the lousy, boring and dull 2018 remake which is an insult to Dario Argento’s 1977 supernatural masterpiece.
