‘Suspiria’ Director Luca Guadagnino Breaks Down A Pivotal Scene From His Artful Horror Film

“Higher!” commands Madame Blanc, played by Tilda Swinton, as she instructs new company dancer Susie (Dakota Johnson) in the mirrored room. This crucial scene from Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Suspiria’ physicalizes a number of key power shifts that lie at the black heart of the auteur’s horror remake – and it provided more than a few technical challenges for the filmmaker as he worked to execute it. Here, Guadagnino talks in detail about how he achieved the illusion of Susie leaping to almost impossible heights, how his camera swirls about the mirrored room completely unseen, and the intricate relationship dynamics between the dance master and her increasingly powerful pupil.
