Inspired by her appreciation for Luca Guadagnino’s horror romance BONES AND ALL (2022), indie-rock musician Ethel Cain’s “Famous Last Words (An Ode To Eaters)” details a love story between two doomed cannibal lovers.
When most people imagine a spell, they picture an old hag stirring a bubbling cauldron after throwing in the eye of a newt or moss from a local graveyard. While this is certainly a possibility, most spellwork is much more grounded. SUSPIRIA (2018) includes four instances of spells in which dance is used to channel intention, each involving a ritual to charge the invocation.
Young ‘eater’ Maren (Taylor Russell) falls in love with an unusual young man (Timothée Chalamet) and gives into her nature while on a cross-country journey of self-discovery in this horrific road romance from the director of 2018’s SUSPIRIA.
BONES AND ALL is a story of first love between Maren (Taylor Russell), a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee (Timothée Chalamet), an intense and disenfranchised drifter… as they meet and join together for a thousand-mile odyssey which takes them through the back roads, hidden passages and trap doors of Ronald Reagan’s America.
Luca Guadagnino’s SUSPIRIA announces itself as “Six Acts and an Epilogue in Divided Berlin.” RUE MORGUE contributor Owen Macleod uncovers the possible motivations for this approach.
