Suspiria is synonymous with European horror more broadly,
and Argento himself is by far the most famous of all the Italian
horror directors. If there was any doubt of his status as one of
the great horror auteurs, Argento's international reputation was
solidified well beyond the realms of cult fandom in the 1990s with
retrospectives at both the American Museum of the Moving Image and
the British Film Institute. This book considers the complex ways
that Argento weaves together light, sound and cinema history to
construct one of the most breathtaking horror movies of all time, a
film as fascinating as it is ultimately unfathomable.
