La Terza Madre a.k.a. Mater Lachrymarum a.k.a. Exhumed

[Kunac]

"Hooperovi" scenaristi, Adam Gierasch i Jace Anderson, pišu scenario za finalni deo Argentove trilogije o vešticama. Ovo je svakako zanimljiv obrt, imajući u vidu da je Argento, do sada, scenarije za svoje filmove pisao sam - ili uz pomoć nekog svog italijanskog saradnika...

Suspiria je remek delo,  Inferno je odličan, ali ne bez problema (čitaj: druga polovina filma)... Ostaje da se vidi šta će biti sa finalnim filmom i da li good ol' Dario može da još uvek ispovrti nešto dostojno Horror Panteona... Raduje činjenica da će Claudio Simonetti pisati muziku, ali jasno je da je ovo projekat "visokog rizika".

Snimanje treba da počne u aprilu 2006 - nadam se samo da neće ispasti da se radi o prvoaprilskoj šali.

[iNCUBUs]

... a ja pomislio da neko snima horror u kome će Majka Tereza biti neka baba-roga ili neki drugi monstrum...

[Ghoul]

Ovo nikako nije dobra vest, i drastično – već u startu- smanjuje šanse da treća Mama bude barem blizu nivoa prve (što je ionako nerealno) ili barem, da budemo skromniji i realniji – druge (čitaj: INFERNO).
Vest vidim kao još jedna dokaz da je Arđento skroz izgubio kompas, da je podilkanio, odlepio...

Šteta što je Richard Stanley trenutno zauzet pripremanjem svog novog filma: on se svojevremeno otvoreno nudio da s Arđentom piše, ili bar da mu 'doktoruje' skript – a trenutno je sigurno najkompetentniji za TAJ posao.

Ehhh... Šmrc...

[Kunac]

Videćemo... Ja ne želim da verujem da će TREĆA MAJKA biti shit... Mislim da iz Argenta može da se izmuze još jedan dobar film - nešto kao labuđa pesma... Ako se bude držao svojih vizuelnih osobenosti kao u prva 2 filma: imaćemo praznik za oči, a ni to nije malo.

[Kunac]

Nisam baš siguran ni da je Richard Stanley idalno rešenje - ali Argentu definitivno treba pomoć oko scenarija....

[Ghoul]

Ja sam siguran.

Posebno me plaši to što je Arđentu u poslednje vreme potrebna pomoć i oko REŽIJE! Hintovi za njegovu JENNIFER nisu nimalo obećavajući, naročito u svetlu svega što je potpisao posle STENDALA, kao poslednjeg podnošljivog, i čak gledljivog svog filma.
Je li se pojavio divx sa Dženi?

Jenifer se u ovoj varijanti piše sa jednim N.  
DivX je dostupan, gledaću ga sutra uveče - tada ću i videti da li Dario još uvek ume da zabiberi horror čorbu na adekvatan način.

[WARLOCK]

Jenifer sad mi je pri rukama,gledam ga sutra!
Kunce ajd u trk! ko ce pre odgledati   Ko od nas prvi odgleda casti picem

[Kunac]

Jenifer - odgledana! Veoma sam zadovoljan. Najkompletnija MoH epizoda za sada. Puno seksa, puno krvi...

Inače, naziv trećeg dela trilogije je promenjen u MATER LACHRYMARUM.

A progovorili su i scenaristi...

So we spent our time working with Dario [on the script] in Rome. It was important for him that we do it there. He wanted us to soak up the atmosphere, the catacombs, etc., since the film will be shot exclusively there.... It's fast-paced, and more violent than you can shake a stick at! This is a horror movie, plain and simple. There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of murders! It really wraps up the trilogy, but is quite different from the first two. Dario didn't want to do the same thing again... I think it's really going to be the movie that everyone is hoping for. It's a 'wow' kind of film, from the very first scene.

[Kunac]

Scenario za završni deo Argentove Veštičje Trilogije je napisan.

To je juče potvrdio jedan od scenarista,  Adam Gierasch.

Gierasch je otkrio da u filmu možemo očekivati veštice, demone i majmune-ubice...  Ovo poslednje me je pomalo zateklo, ali ako je moglo da prođe u Phenomeni, možda će moći i sada...

Takođe, naslov filma je još jednom promenjen: ništa od naslova kao što su The Third Mother & The Mother of Teras... Dario je predložio da se film zove... (pazite sad ovo)... Exhumed!

Možda je planirano da u filmu neko iskopa drevnog majmuna-ubicu?

ASIA ARGENTO ĆE IGRATI U TREĆOJ MAMI!

Upravo je stigao mejl od Azije:

"i've been in Hong Kong for a while and i didn't bring my computer with me. I am now writing you from the "business center" of my hotel. God, you're always ahead of everyone, yes I am going to be in my dad's new movie (the script is brilliant!) and I am happy to tell you before anyone else that my mother is playing a role in it as well! How exciting! The family reunited. My heart is so mushy. And no, Sienna Miller ain't gonna be in it."

TOO SWEET FOR WORDS!!!    

[Kunac]

Stvari se zaokružuju... Adam Gierasch je ekskluzivno za ZS izjavio: It starts shooting in late October and I'm so excited about it, I can't speak. It's going to be everything everyone wants it to be. It's very, very Dario. It's a fairly big movie, taking place in a number of different locations, and it has a bunch of very scary bad guys in it. And it's easily going to be one of his bloodiest movies; there are scenes that are just ridiculously gruesome. Working with Dario has been fantastic; he's so creative and so precise, and he's very excited about the project too.

Pored Azije i majke joj, u filmu su role dobili i naši stari znanci: Udo Kier (Priča o O, Suspiria) koji će igrati sveštenika-egzorcistu i moj lični favorit Koralina Kataldi Tasoni (Demoni 2, Opera). Na IMDb-u stoji info da se u filmu pojavljuje i Valeria Golino - ali to nije potvrđeno

[Ghoul]

Udo SPERMULA Kir!!!

UDO! UDO! UDO! UDO! UDO!            


holy fuck,ako ništa drugo, ovo je argentov film sa najboljim kastom IKADA! samo još da cgi-jem ožive alidu vali i da nekako navedu jennifer connelly da se pojavi, makar cameo!

[taurus-jor]

[Kunac]

Izgleda da više nema dileme: Majka suza uskoro postaje stvarnost.

Pouzdani Variety je obznanio da snimanje počinje 30. oktobra - za svega 10-ak dana! Azijino učešće je potvrđeno  . Ona će igrati američku studentkinju (?) koja u Rimu otvara drevnu urnu i tako nenamerno izaziva najezdu veštica. Pored Azije, potvrđeno je da će u filmu nastupiti veterani: Nemac Udo Kier, Italijan Massimo Sarchielli (s kojim je Arđento već sarađivao u filmu Non ho sonno - ako se dobro sećam, tamo je igrao skitnicu) i Francuz Philippe Leroy.
Majka suza se najavljuje kao Dario Argento's return to the slasher-style filmmaking that won him a following, što je obećavajuće.
Film će producirati italijanska Medusa i američki Myriad Pictures (Jeepers Creepers 2).

[Kunac]

POČELO SNIMANJE!

Ne mogu da verujem da se posle toliko godina ovo zaista događa!

'MAGIC IS ALL AROUND US'


I witnessed Italian Horror History being made on November 15, 2006. In a distinctively Dario rococo decorated apartment on the Corso Govone in the swankiest of Turin neighbourhoods, three generations of Argentos came together as one. Finally. There was Dario and Daria Nicolodi, joking and laughing, doting on their grand-daughter Anna-Lou as all three lovingly watched Asia act out one of the key scenes in THE THIRD MOTHER, the hugely anticipated sequel to SUSPIRIA and INFERNO. When Daria took her first, admittedly, hesitant steps on set, it was like royalty had arrived. The atmosphere was incredible and every single person in the crew was clearly conscious of what a momentous occasion was actually happening before our very eyes. After decades of arguments over the authorship of SUSPIRIA, the subsequent infighting, recriminations and relationship fall-outs, here were the key players in the saga together again at last. And with their world famous actress daughter, continuing the beloved horror mythology they created in the presence of grand-daughter Anna Lou, who looks a dead-ringer for Daria. I admit I was so overcome, I cried. And then laughed, because in context of this sequel being about the Mother of Tears, it seemed entirely appropriate. Director of photography Frederic Fasano (SCARLET DIVA, DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK?) noticed my emotional response and just said one word "Magic". Which set me off even more because it made me think of Jessica Harper's line in SUSPIRIA, "Magic is all around us". It certainly was that night and everyone was touched by it. In all the years I've been 'stalking' Dario, I've had many memorable moments. None will ever equal this night.

For the first time in our long association Dario has asked me to be discreet over certain aspects of THE THIRD MOTHER. He wants you all to be as shocked as possible by some of the outrageously obscene set pieces he has devised with co-writers Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch (TOOLBOX MURDERS). Although many of you will have read my 'controversial' script review on this site, much of what I described in that has now fallen by the wayside. Character names and the ending have been changed, sequences shifted in the narrative and improvised by Dario seconds before they were shot. This is the first film he's directed without extensive storyboards because he wanted to be "in the moment". Asia's performance as Sarah Mandy, an art history restoration student, whose destiny is tied in with the re-born Mother of Tears, is part of that experimental flux too. Once the film completes shooting in mid-December, extensive post-production will provide the visual lustre we are all expecting from a sequel fighting the shimmering sublime looks of both SUSPRIA and INFERNO. Fasano will only reveal at this point that the film will begin in cold muted colours before gradually getting redder and redder as it progresses towards the epic climax.

Let me set the record straight over a few facts. The title is definitely THE THIRD MOTHER/LA TERZA MADRE. MOTHER OF TEARS was never in the running as far as Dario was concerned. That was the title the originally contacted American sales agent Myriad wanted for international distribution. It was the title on the script I read. But, as of now, Myriad (the JEEPERS CREEPERS duo) is out of the picture. Instead the Italian company Medusa (THE CARD PLAYER) bit the bullet, bolstered by the fan anticipation (every location has been besieged by on-lookers) and wholly financed the film themselves. Myriad may still be involved at some future point but as Dario told me, 'All this film needs to sell it is a poster saying THE THIRD MOTHER, the tag-line 'the sequel to SUSPIRIA and INFERNO', over a picture of Asia looking gorgeous".

Dario wanted to make THE THIRD MOTHER now because of the artistic freedom he had on his two 'Masters of Horror' episodes, JENIFER and PELTS. (Most of the crew went to the Italian premiere of PELTS at the Turin Film Festival on November 12. It was the usual camera flashing, autograph-hunting, mob madness). He explains, "I had producers telling me I could do whatever I wanted, no censorship. With no restrictions on my imagination ideas for THE THIRD MOTHER suddenly bubbled over like sparkling champagne". With these ideas fashioned into a wonderfully evocative screenplay by Anderson and Gierasch, with fabulously meaningful touchstones to both prior films, Dario has come up with a "Kandinsky slice of burnished surreality, where savage sexual imagery will compete with the hard violence to gloriously shocking effect". Think SOCIETY on a grander scale for an insight into what you can expect the cruellest and most beautiful Mother (played by stunningly tall DAYS OF LOVE Israeli actress Moran Atias) to indulge in.

I went to three locations during my time in Turin. One was a cemetery in Andezeno about 24 km from the city. That's where the urn containing the Mother of Tears' ashes is discovered. The second was the Molinette Hospital where Sarah's lover Michael Pierce (Adam James, THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO, and numerous Brit TV series) looks in on a comatose Monsignor Brusca (Franco Leo, FELLINI SATYRICON) and discusses supernatural forces with Padre Milesi (Tommaso Banfi). Both of those locations were spent in the company of writers Anderson and Gierasch who I must tell you I adored. They know how important THE THIRTD MOTHER is to Dario's fans. It is to them too and touchingly so. The third was the already mentioned apartment scenes where Sarah takes refuge with her lesbian friend Marta (Valeria Cavalli, Lamberto Bava's A BLADE IN THE DARK), and her lover Elga (Silvia Rubino). It's there white witch Marta teaches Sarah how to summon up the ghost of her mother Elisa (Nicolodi) via an enchanted powder puff. This complicated scene featured Latin-style chanting, much dialogue, green screen special effects and Asia making my spine-tingle with her acting intensity.

The role of Sarah is one Asia asked for. She summoned Dario to Paris, where she was making Olivier Assayas' BOARDING GATE, and said she wanted to read the script. She loved it. "There are still issues between me and my father", she said. "But I had to be in it. It's the family heritage and it's an honour to be a part of it. The shock is how calm and comfortable Dario is making it!" Indeed. In one of the most candid interviews Dario has ever given me, he said, "Look, I know people haven't liked a lot of my recent films. I was being experimental in my career and I learned a lot from it - enough to get me to the place where I can direct THE THIRD MOTHER with ease. I haven't felt any pressure despite the massive expectation out there. I'm doing what I know is great work. I never expected to feel that way over such a pivotal movie. If I was scared at any point in my thoughts about making it, such feelings have long since vanished. We're moving fast, Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni (playing Giselle, Sarah's work mate) and Udo Kier (Padre Johannes, the exorcist) are back in the fold where they belong, Asia is giving an amazing performance and the Brit actors (including Cristian Solimeno, playing detective Enzo Marchi) are terrific. SUSPIRIA and INFERNO were fairytale based. THE THIRD MOTHER is not. It's an entirely modern take on newly invented horror mythology because that's what this tortured and confusing world needs right now".

With the Cannes Film Festival asking Dario to complete the film in time for consideration as a 2007 competition contender, THE THIRD MOTHER is on brilliant course to herald a new era in the Argento universe. "If anyone is expecting me to give up, forget it", he exclaims. "My mother is 91 years old and still going strong. And so will I be". The exciting news doesn't stop there either. Depending on the Cannes outcome, which will impact on its Italian release dates, Dario and Asia have agreed to attend the proposed UK premiere at FrightFest 2007. I've also asked Coralina, Adam James and writers Anderson and Gierasch to be there too for what should be a truly fabulous event. THE THIRD MOTHER's glorious reign begins...

jedini problem sa ovakvim textovima je... što stvaraju preterana očekivanja... tako da sve i ako dario napravi OK film (u svetlu svojih novijih radova), pitanje je da li će i koliko to zaista moći da priđe staroj slavi i filmovima na koje se nastavlja.

da se razumemo: I WANT TO BELIEVE!
...BUT...

verovaću kad vidim.

[Kunac]

Sve znam, ali kao i ti želim da verujem. Nada umire poslednja.

[Kunac]

Posle 45 dana, Argento je završio snimanje! Meni se čini da je mesec i po prekratak rok da se snimi jedan epski horor...

Da li neko zna koliko je trajalo snimanje prva 2 dela trilogije?

[crippled_avenger]

Jebiga, DOBA NEVINOSTI će se snimati 45 dana. TITO I JA je sniman 58 radnih dana. A3 je sniman 9 nedelja, što će reći negde oko 54 radna dana.

To je dosta kratak shoot za ovakav film jer Dario mora da ima dosta materijala u montaži, plus veliki set-pieceovi sa kompleksnim pokretima kamere se snimaju i po par dana.

Ono što me iz gornjeg teksta najviše plaši je to što Dario želi da bude "in the moment" i ne radi storyboard. To mi liči na napade sujete koje sam iskusio sa starijim rediteljima, i iz kojih su proisticali njihovi najslabiji filmovi.

IL CARTAIO koji je dosta bedno izgledao je sniman 79 kalendarskih dana tj. 11 nedelja, sudeći po IMDbu sto ce reci najvise 68 radnih dana, ali verovatno manje radnih pošto postoje prelazni dani između noćnih i dnevnih snimanja.

IMDb kaže da su filmig dates za INFERNO 129 kalendarskih dana. E sad, to j snimano na više lokacja, danju, noću, na raznim mestima, itd. To je dakle film koji je sniman 18 sedmica, najviše 111 dana mada sumnjam da se radilo baš tako. u svakom slučaju ako IMDb ne laž, sniman je bar duplo duže od treće majke...

E sad, da se ne bi filmovi snimali u nedogled, u Americi na istom filmu radi par ekipa pa se neke stvari, neki pick up shotovi i detalji rade u isto vreme, ili sa više kamera. Međutim, i sa holivudskom ekipom, čini mi se da je ovo prekratko.

Ovo sam ja sad ovako polu-laički objasnio, sigurno milan može bolje.

[Ghoul]

prema knjizi ART OF DARKNESS: CINEMA OF DARIO ARGENTO,
SUSPIRIA je snimljena za 16 weeks, starting from 26.07.'76.

INFERNO = 14 weeks, starting from 21.05.'79.

MAMA, dakle, urađena za 6 nedelja...

ne znam bre, ljudi, brine me to.
želim da se uzdam u efikasnost USA timova koji nisu opušteni italijani kao ranije; takođe, ovaj film, čini mi se, treba da ima komplikovaniju postprodukciju, mnogo scena sa CGI-jem (koje, dakle, nije imao potrebe da snima 'praktično')...
ali opet, 45 dana...

još ako, za koji mesec, najave da će running time da bude oko 90' počeću da oštrim hladno oružje u mojoj crnoj kožnoj torbici sa postavom od crvenog somota...

hmmm, sve do sad sam se nadao da je vest pogrešno shvaćena, i da glasi: završio snimanje NA LOKACIJAMA i prešao u STUDIO, ili tako nešto...
ali koliko mi moje natucanje italijanskog dozvoljava, izgleda da je ono najgore: snimanje tutto completo zavšeno!

čak mi i najava o premijeri marta meseca zvuči nekako jezivo.
zar je 2-2,5 meseca post-produkcije DOVOLJNO za jedan ovakav film? iz onog rivjua scenarija zvučalo je kao da svaka druga scena ima tonu CGI-efekata i ostalih konjplikacija...

PS: inače, u italijanskom delu vesti se najavljuje da dario na proleće ide u USA da snima novu epizodu u III sezoni MASTERS OF HORROR (dakle, i to je već rešena stvar: biće III sezona, i dario opet u njoj!)

[Kunac]

Koliko je znam - snimanje je završeno, i o tome sam već pisao na ovom topiku. Zanimljivo je da već nekoliko nedelja vlada totalno zatišje kada je ovaj projekat u pitanju - nikako da procuri neka nova fotka ili neki izveštaj, intervju... Film je očigledno u postprodukciji i nama ostaje da čekamo šta će ispasti.

[Kunac]

U okviru desetominutnog priloga (predstavljena su, između ostalog, i dva nova filma Pupija Avatija - od kojih jedan komedija a drugi horor), novi Argentov film je dobio oko pola minuta prostora - mislim da je prikazan deo trejlera, posto su kadrovi veoma brzo izmontirani. Neke od prizora možete videti gore (kvalitet nije najbolji, ali tako je kako je). Teško je izvući neki zaključak, ali mi se čini da će film biti brzog tempa, nasilan i pun Gota.

Zahvaljujem sa Auri koja je obezbedila prevod...  


In the first two installments of the "Witches Trilogy," Dario Argento told the stories of two "Mothers": Mater Suspiriorum in Freiburg ("Suspiria") and Mater Tenebrarum in New York ("Inferno"). In "The Third Mother," the focus is on another Mother–Mater Lacrimarum–the only survivor of the trio. This witch has been "sleeping" (in Rome) for centuries and is awakened by Sarah Mandy, a young American student from the Ancient Art Museum.

Mandy opens a mysterious urn. Inside is a red tunic, a dagger, and three talismans that allow the horrible witch to regain her powers, beauty, and youth. (The witch is played by the Israeli model Moran Atias.) The effects over the Eternal City are quickly seen: sudden or mysterious deaths, inexplicable suicides, and crimes of all kinds. While Sarah always mysteriously finds a way of escaping, her friend is killed by a bloody-thirsty little monkey, the baby boy of the museum's director, Mario Galimberti, disappears, and the person who sent Mandy the urn is killed by a stroke. With the frightful power of Mater Lacrimarum now free from its prison, other powerful witches from around the world converge on Rome to pay homage to the most beautiful and cruelest of the three Mothers.

The police doesn't help. It is convinced that Sarah and Mario are liars. As a result, the only people fighting the witches' supernatural powers are the trio of Sarah, Mario, who is trying to save his own son, and the exorcist Udo Kier.

Sarah then finds out she has supernatural powers. She doesn't know the source of her powers, until she finds out that her mother Elisa was a spiritual, healing, white witch, who was killed by Mater Suspiriorum, the mother of Sighs.

The priest tells Sarah and Mario the story of the three mothers, inspired by one of the maestros from gothic literature, Thomas De Quincey. A thousand years ago, on the coast of the Black Sea, three sisters gave life to witchcraft and wandered for years around the world causing death and destruction. Two were defeated and destroyed, but the third–Mater Lacrimarum–is back in all of her horror. The explanation is interrupted by the arrival of Valerya, the Ukrainian governess who, under the influence of the Mother of Tears, murders the priest.

However, in the underground, three demons and the old witch feed on the remains of the kidnapped baby. Elisa materializes in the powder that rises from a powder-box to warn her daughter Sarah of the growing danger of Mater Lacrimarum. The danger arrives quickly: the three demons and little murderous monkey enter the house where Sarah is staying. Within a few seconds and with the use of special effects, they kill Sarah's two friends. Upset, Sarah wanders through the street of Rome until she cathes a glimpse of a familiar face—it is Mario. However, he can't help her. Defeated by the witches, he has become a zombie. He is losing blood through his cut throat and tries to kill his former ally. Sarah manages to get away one more time. She sprays Mario with a flammable liquid–oh the dangers of a cigarette! He becomes a human torch.

Deciding to see things clearly, Sarah contacts Guglielmo De Witt (Philippe Leroy), a paralytic architect and alchemist, who sends her to Palazzo Varelli, which is rumored to be the Mother of Tears' shelter. And it is indeed. In the basement of the building, Sarah finds nightmarish visions inspired by Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights." In a room lit by candles, Mater Lacrimarum stands at an old altar surrounded by women in ecstasies who make sure to tear to pieces all of the men that Sarah could rely on. Attacked by the murderous little monkey, even Sarah is dragged in front of the witch. However, Sarah quickly tears the red tunic, which catches fire. The disconcerted witches move back, and the Mother's power is over. All hell breaks loose, and while Sarah looks for someone to help her, Argento's new film ends with earthquakes, quicksands, and floods of corpses—all in a show of special effects.

"The Third Mother" enables the director to reunite two ladies from his private and cinematographic life. Sarah is played by Asia Argento, his daughter and the protagonist of many of his films. Elisa is played by Daria Nicolodi, the director's "historical" companion and Asia's mother. Nicolodi was the screenwriter of "Suspiria" and acted in "Inferno," and in many other of the director's films.

ALAN JONES DIARY:

For all you Argento fans the news isn't good on The Third Mother front. Dario's long-awaited sequel to Suspiria and Inferno is becoming something of a cause celebre in Italy and is having many ranting column inches devoted to it in the newspapers and magazine's there. Distributor and producer Medusa reeled in shock at Dario's first cut of the supernatural shocker that went far beyond any extreme they imagined. Didn't they read the script? So they sent him back into the editing rooms to make it more 'mainstream', i.e. attractive to overseas buyers who they thought wouldn't touch it with a barge pole in the original version. So far they've been right. The problems are all to do with the depiction of perverse sex in the witch gathering satanic scenes and one cannibal killing of a major character.

In my view their reaction completely misses the point. Suspiria was a huge worldwide hit because it broke so many taboos and barriers and is a classic due to Dario's vivid and masterly interpretation. That's what his fans want again, not a compromised vision. But, of course, we are now in the post Grindhouse meltdown and investments must be protected. If film companies looked at that scenario properly they would realise the financial folly of trying to make something like Grindhouse mainstream rather than play it in the natural homes of true grindhouse movies. Strange that ace marketers Harvey and Bob Weinstein got that so wrong and we will now have to suffer the stupid damage control of their wrong-headed campaign. Let's see if the uncut Tarantino version in Cannes goes someway to addressing the fall-out.

Argento is now in a standoff position with Medusa. He's not one to suffer fools gladly and is prepared to fight his corner. His reputation is still so great in Italy that it will be an interesting face-off. I hope for his sake, and ours, he wins and we see The Third Mother in all its gory and orgy glory.

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!

Slike su fantasticne!!!

Ova druga po redu sa uvelicavajucim staklom lici na Argentov stil. Biblioteka i jarke boje podsecaju na Suspiriu i na Inferno.

Ona slika sa Asiom u bazenu bljuvotine svakako podseca na Phenomenu.
Jedva cekam The Third Mother.Verujem da ce biti nesto specijalno od Argenta, a i vreme je.
No, Videcemo....

Sto kaze Dr Kunac:"NADA UMIRE POSLEDNJA"
Bravo za SLIKE!!!!!!!!!

Da, fotke su odličnog kvaliteta, i ima par vizuelnih dragulja u najavi, ali činjenica je sve još uvek neizvesno...

Dvadeset minuta Trećemajke je doživelo premijeru u Kanu... Reakcije su podeljene - a evo šta Alan Jones piše:

Hi Nick, up to my neck in the Cannes labyrinth! Myriad premiered 20 minutes of footage from MOTHER OF TEARS: THE THIRD MOTHER (US title) today (May 17) at 9.30 am at the Gray 3 cinema. The place was packed After a credit roll, and a warning that what we would be shown was very graphic and violent, eight lenghty scenes from the movie were unveiled. I do not want to go into specifics because major plot points were revealed. But the full opening was shown with Asia and Coralina opening the Mother of Tears' urn and the arrival of the demons and the evil monkey. The powder puff scene was next. This was the stuff I saw being filmed in Turin really well put together where Asia is shown how to summon up the spirit of her mother. Then it was the lesbian death scene carried out by the Man in the Overcoat with torture implements. Exorcist Udo Kier's major scene followed, plus Asia running through the panicked streets of Rome. Adam James major moment followed that with the finale reserved for the entrance of the Mother of Tears herself. I will say it was gory to the max and all the effects looked fantastic. The vibe in the room was mixed. People laughed at the monkey but all jumped at a terrific demonic scare. Talking to everyone afterwards the feeling was the acting was variable (what's new), the scripting had too much exposition (ditto) but that it was beautifully shot - lots of steadicam through the museum - and the photography was fabulous. You can't judge any movie in this bitty way so let's hope it all comes together by final print stage. An unqualified success though is Simometti's music. Wonderful. I'm still gagging to see the whole thing put together. October 18 is now the official Italian premiere date, it's opening the Rome Festival.

A evo šta Jones piše o restauriranoj verziji Suspirie:

Dario and Asia arrive in Cannes tonight for the restored SUSPRIA screening in the Cannes Classics strand. A very pecular credit has appeared on the film - music by Goblin and Philip Glass! Quite what that means I don't know, did Goblin's music really need any additional material?

Ovo je krajnje bizarno!
