There are numerous questions “Suspiria” fans have about Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming adaptation of Dario Agrento’s horror classic: enat exactly is the dark mystery at the film’s center? How faithful is David Kajganich’s script to Argento’s original? But no question is as sizable as the one involving the mystery of Dr. Jozef Klemperer — and which actor is playing the character.
Amazon Studios’ official synopsis for “Suspiria” explains the film is about a “darkness at the center of a world-renowned dance company” — much like the 1977 original — that engulfs three characters: The troupe’s artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. The first two characters mentioned are Madame Blanc and Susie Bannion, played by Tilda Swinton and Dakota Johnson, respectively, but the third is more perplexing.

To follow up on the ongoing presentation of Films by Peter Tscherkassy, Mubi and Index are teaming up once again to open up another showcase of experimental cinema, this one focusing on Lisl Ponger (site). "A visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker, Ponger is equally at home at Documenta (she participated in 2002) and at film festivals," wrote Brigitte Huck for Artforum in 2007. "Acting (often in the same work) as director, set designer, performer, and archivist, she investigates the interfaces between art and science, between sociology, art history, and political activism, moving obliquely through these disciplines to create compositions of explosive power and precise observation."
In Passages (1996), Ponger "creates an imaginary map of the 20th century on which the stories of emigration are engraved like well-worn tracks of occidental memory," writes Christa Blümlinger. More from Bert Rebhandl in frieze. In Déjà Vu (1999), Ponger examines the notion of the "expelled and transformed 'foreigner.
