Today from 18:00-21.00 hrs, the UvA Film Club will host their next screening in HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space! This week's film is Inferno (Dario Argento, 1980), with an introduction by Parker Burrows.
Flooded apartment basements, university lecture halls, and New York city hot dog stands make up just some of the delightfully haunted sets of Dario Argento’s Inferno. The followup to the supernatural classic Suspiria (1977), Inferno takes the insanity of its predecessor to another level by indulging fully in the pleasure of incoherence. What to expect: Otherworldly hues of reds, blues, purples with no basis in reality. Bloody kills that skip the inconvenient obstacles of “plot” and “character motivations.” Everything soundtracked by a sinister score that’s half haunted opera, half I-don’t-know-what. A perfect harmony between a gratuitous silliness and a deeply eerie atmosphere, so generously uninterested in the need to make sense. Pure, unobstructed horror!
