MILWAUKEE – Thursday, October 4, 2018 – Milwaukee Film is excited to welcome Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin to the Oriental Theatre as they perform the live score for Dario Argento’s Suspiria. The cult-classic horror film was originally scored by the Italian progressive rock band and remains one of the most recognizable and evocative film scores of all time. This special one-off screening is presented in partnership with Milwaukee Record and WMSE 91.7.
Following a young American dancer as she attends a prestigious, and mysterious, German dance school, Suspiria quickly transports audiences into a surreal tale as strange as it is unnerving.The film has received wide critical acclaim since its initial release in 1977 due to the influential use of vivid colors and lighting, along with the haunting score created by keyboardist Claudio Simonetti and his band Goblin.
“Suspiria is arguably the best known feature from Italian giallo-horror master Dario Argento, rightly lauded for its intensely saturated technicolor visuals and memorably off-kilter soundtrack,” states Justin Hamilton, Milwaukee Film’s guest and alumni manager, who programmed the unique screening. “The film’s nightmare-like psychedelic style remains iconic to this day, with Argento’s influence on full display in the works of David Lynch and Nicolas Winding Refn. Adding to the one-of-a-kind experience is a prog-rock soundtrack so beloved it’s been sampled from Wu Tang to A$AP Mob, making this a cult-classic unlike any other.”
Tickets for Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin Performs Suspiria are on sale now and available at orientaltheatremke.com.
