Last week we shared the news that Suspiria remake star Chole Grace Mortez thinks Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s classic is “the closest to modern Kubrick” she has seen. And if that wasn’t high enough praise for you, today we have word that Quentin Tarantino has seen the film and is reaction was genuinely emotional.
“I showed it to Quentin Tarantino,” Guadagnino revealed to the Italian publication La Repubblica. “We’ve been friends since our jury duty at the Venice Film Festival. I was nervous but eager to hear his advice. We saw it at his place and his reaction warmed me. He was enthusiastic about it, in the end, he was crying and hugged me.”
He then adds: “Because it’s a horror movie but also a melodrama, my goal was to make you look at the horror without being able to take [your eyes off the screen] because you’re captivated by the characters. Amazon is very happy.”
