Othersode #21: Swilda Tinton / Suspiria
from Book Squad Goals · host #BookSquadGoals
Join the #BookSquad — er, #BookCoven — for a not-so-scary look at the new "Suspiria," directed by Luca Guadagnino. We talk about what worked and what didn't work (but mostly what didn't work) in this re-imagining of the 1977 film. Is the dancing good? Why is Tilda Swinton playing so many characters? And most importantly, what would "Suspiria" sound like as a Rihanna song? We answer all this and more, plus we hear some listener feedback on "Castle Rock!" Read along with us for our next #bookpisode on Celeste Ng's "Little Fires Everywhere," which drops on December 3rd. 1:00 – What would you use as a front for your secret witch coven?3:38 – Spoiler warning and movie summary7:20 – Is there ANYTHING we enjoyed?15:28 – Susan’s issues with the filmmaking 20:58 – What even is going on in this movie and why was it hard to figure out?26:54 – Turning horror into ART - Variety review: https://variety.com/2018/film/reviews/suspiria-review-dakota-johnson-1202924220/37:12 – Is this movie feminist?
