Last year ’s Suspiria , one of the biggest horror releases of the year , was a remake of a classical 1977 repulsion movie by the legendary Dario Argento . As for Argento ’s thoughts on the remaking , directed by Luca Guadagnino ? Well . Uh .
“ It did not excite me , ” Argento told an interviewer recently , viaThe Film Stage . “ It betrayed the heart of the original film : there is no fear , there is no music . The film has not satisfied me so much . ”
Though , in fairness , he did add together that it was “ a neat film , like Guadagnino , who is a fine mortal . ” At least it ’s not personal .
Still , though . Ouch . Remakes like Suspiria are often proletariat of erotic love , so that ca n’t be a critique that ’s comforting to the picture show ’s Maker . It does show , though , that Guadagnino supervise to create a movie that ’s very different from its herald . In that visible light , let down the original ’s creator might be a success .
