Suspiria sure was. And this looks super creepy. But I’m not sure it’s “horror.” Guess we’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, check out the trailer above and let us know what you think.
Guadagnino screened the short film at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. It follows Francesca, the troubled, expatriate daughter of the acclaimed German-Roman painter Sophia Moretti, who has descended into blindness. Triggered by a stranger’s secret confession, Francesca returns to her Italian childhood home to convince her ailing mother to follow her to New York. As daughter confronts mother, ghosts of Francesca’s youth return in an onslaught of pain and memory.
