DAZED & CONFUSED



Dazed & Confused

You star in the Suspiria remake later this year. What can you say about your part in the film – and were you always a fan of Argento’s hyper-colourised surrealism?

Tilda Swinton:
Suspiria is a film Luca Guadagnino and I have talked about making a ‘cover’ of for years. We are dyed-in-the-wool fans of Dario Argento’s classic and we’re happy to be in the middle of completing our film. We shot in Italy and Berlin over the winter (and are) now cutting. I play Madame Blanc, a highly respected choreographer and director of the Markos Dance Company. The film is a universe of dance and magic and the radical politics of 70s Berlin. We shot with a cast of 38 women – including the great Ingrid Caven, Mia Goth, Renee Slouterdijk, Angela Winkler, Dakota Johnston, Chloë (Grace) Moretz, Sylvie Testud and the wonderful Jessica Harper, who starred in Argento’s original – and three men: filmmaker Fred Kelemen, photographer Mikael Olsson and psychoanalyst Lutz Ebersdorf. It’s going to be wild and very much its own animal.

NYTIMES SUSPIRIA



How an Abandoned Hotel Became a Witches’ Lair for ‘Suspiria’.
Luca Guadagnino’s latest film takes place in a fictional dance academy in 1970s Berlin, constructed within the dilapidated interiors of a 1912 Italian retreat.
......In a twist typical of “Suspiria,” the photographer Mikael Olsson, who captured the accompanying images of the set, also has a bit role in the film: He appears as Agent Glockner, a German police officer (one of just three male characters).

BIENNALE CINEMA 2018 75TH VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL



Suspiria at The 75th Venice International Film Festival Competion organised by La Biennale di Venezia, and will take place at Venice Lido from August 29th to September 8th, 2018.

Mikael Olsson stars as Agent Glockner in the upcoming film Suspiria (2018) from director Luca Guadagnino. Starring Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Jessica Harper and Chloe Grace Moretz. Screenplay by David Kajganich.

In Suspiria by Luca Guadagnino – who pays homage to the 1977 cult horror movie by Dario Argento - a darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director (Tilda Swinton), an ambitious young dancer (Dakota Johnson), and a grieving psychotherapist (Lutz Ebersdorf). Radiohead's Thom Yorke provided the score for the movie, contributing to its creepy atmosphere.

This is not an exhibition

........Nearby, Petra Gipp and Mikael Olsson's rigorous assembly and direct display of three canopies designed by Sigurd Lewerentz for religious buildings, curated by Kieran Long, Johan Örn, and James Taylor-Foster, stands out as a model for the contemporary exhibition of historical architecture in its careful selection of a wide range of material as well as its subtle deployment of abstraction in its modes of representation........
