Suspiria 4k Ultra-HD-Restored [Dual Format] [Blu-ray]

Product Information

While the students are preparing for supper one night, maggots rain down from the ceilings of their rooms due to a shipment of spoiled food in the attic, forcing them to sleep in one of the dance studios. During the night, a woman enters the room but is obscured by a curtain hung around the room's perimeter. Sara, frightened by her hoarse and labored breathing, recognizes her as the school's headmistress, who is supposedly out of town. The next day, the school's blind pianist, Daniel, is abruptly fired by Miss Tanner when his German Shepherd bites Albert. Daniel is stalked by an unseen force while walking through a plaza that night; his dog turns on him and viciously rips out his throat. Fred Topel (10 April 2014).

The score blends in to the film easily and makes the filmmaking all the more haunting and memorable. Yorke From the first frame to the film's final post-credit tease - Guadagnino's Suspira is a similar animal to Argento's but is entirely its own beast. It's beautiful and horrifying while challenging and frustrating. I frequently asked "what's the point of this" during several cutaways and scenes but loved the payoff that it ultimately leads to. I've spoken with many who like me loved this take and its indulgences while I know an equal number of people who either weren't impressed or flat out hate this movie. There isn't any middle ground. You're either going to love it or hate it, so see it for yourself and make your own call. I dare say don't watch it with anyone else in the room to influence your opinion. I dearly wish this film had been a major hit at the box office, it needs a 4K UHD Blu-ray release! Shot on 35mm and finished on a 4K digital intermediate, this new Suspiria is a beautifully cold war drab 1080p 1.85:1 transfer that is in stark contrast to Argento's primary-saturated original. With fine film grain apparent but never out of place or too noisy, the image boasts clean and clear details allowing everyone's facial features and unique makeup to shine through beautifully - and horrifically in a couple of instances!

Film scholar L. Andrew Cooper notes "Aesthetic experience is arguably the ultimate source of 'meaning' in all of Argento's films, but Suspiria and the other films of the Three Mothers trilogy...take their emphasis on aesthetics further by self-consciously connecting their irrational worlds to nineteenth-century romanticism and the aestheticism that grew out of it." [4] Unfilmed remake [ edit ] The imbibition process, used for The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Gone with the Wind (1939), is much more vivid in its color rendition than emulsion-based release prints, therefore enhancing the nightmarish qualities of the film Argento intended to evoke.

The HDR10 metadata provided by the film 4K disc shows a peak brightness of 1000 nit, and a maximum frame average light level of 400 nits. These are up there with the sort of numbers used to master many modern films to 4K Blu-ray, and perfectly explain both why image highlights such as artificial light sources and reflections on mirrors, windows and so on look so intense compared with the HD Blu-ray.

DMJ: “Pretty much everything [laughs]! The most difficult aspect was the restoration itself, because the 35mm camera negative was not stored well over the decades. There were a lot of splices, fingerprints, and dirt embedded into the actual negative. What was strange was all the fingerprints on the splices. We were confounded at the idea that someone thought it was OK to handle the original negative without gloves. Oil from bare hands was embedded into the negative so badly, that we could probably send the fingerprint pics to the FBI to get a positive ID from the culprit. We had to make sure we eliminated as many of these anomalies as possible. It was a long, stressful process, but I think we’ve remastered the best version of SUSPIRIA ever created.” Suspiria is a Hollywood remake of the original horror classic directed by renowned filmmaker Dario Argento ( Phenomena). The the Synapse one approved by cinematographer Luciano Tovoli on the Synapse Blu-ray and UHD (as well as the 2018/2019 Blu-ray from Videa whose earlier editions used the German restoration) All of this decorative text aside, Suspiria is also quite a scary experience for the uninitiated. I first experienced the film when Anchor Bay released it on VHS and DVD in the 1990s, and it was terrifying. Besides the opening fifteen minutes, which includes an absolutely brutal and over the top murder sequence, there’s also the final moments when the reanimated corpse of one of the young girls at the school attempts to murder Suzy (Harper). It’s effective, to say the least.Ryan Lattanzio (8 April 2015). " 'Django' and Dario Argento's 'Suspiria' Getting Classy TV Series Remakes". Thompson on Hollywood . Retrieved 18 December 2017. Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote a mixed review, saying the film had "slender charms, though they will most assuredly be lost on viewers who are squeamish." [23] The Los Angeles Times 's Kevin Thomas wrote that the film was "consistently suspenseful and diverting" despite being "marred by stilted, poorly dubbed English dialogue". [24] John Stark of The San Francisco Examiner was critical, writing: " Suspiria is mostly gore, with little plot or intrigue." [25] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune expressed similar sentiments, criticizing Harper's role to being "reduced to cowering in corners" and "costumed to look much younger than her years"; while praising Argento's "visually stylish" direction, he felt that Suspiria was inferior to his directorial debut The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) and "plays like a weak imitation of The Exorcist (1973)". [21] Also great to see is how the stellar color regrade has not been allowed to intrude on or spoil the film’s skin tones.
