New Interview of Dakota with Sorrisi [Italy]


"I have discovered that my body is capable of doing things that I did not believe could do." Said by the protagonist of the erotic trilogy of the "Fifty Shades", the phrase can sound mischievous. But Dakota Johnson pronounces it almost candor. It refers to the dance scenes that abound in "Suspiria", the horror film directed by Luca Guadagnino and in competition at the Venice Film Festival, set in a ballet school in the Berlin of the 70s.

It was really so shocking ... dancing?
Dakota: I had studied dance before, but I'm not a professional. I had to train and try with real dancers and Guadagnino encouraged me to push myself to the limit of my skills. When he found out I could lift the shoulder blades from the back in an almost animal-like way, like wings, he was enthusiastic...and I was too.

Why?
Dakota: Suspiria is a very physical film. Not sexy, but physical. Dance is energy, a way to express oneself and to free oneself, even to obtain power ».

Did you play all the dance scenes by yourself?
Dakota: It's me at 90%. For the remaining 10, where we had to unleash the "wow factor" (a moment of amazement of the public, Ed) with an extremely complicated passage, there was a stunt.

Dakota talks about "Suspiria" with Inquirer


LOS ANGELES—“When was the last time you saw a film that made people feel a lot of different things?” Dakota Johnson asked aloud about “Suspiria,” her controversial new film with “Call Me by Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino.

Dakota stars as Susie Bannion, an American dancer who attends a prestigious dance academy in Berlin and realizes it’s a front for a coven of witches, in Guadagnino’s remake of the 1977 horror classic by Dario Argento. While “Suspiria” premiered to an eight-minute standing ovation in the Venice Film Festival, it has divided the critics.

Chicago Tribune’s Michael Phillips reported, “Fully 52 minutes longer than Argento’s, this ‘Suspiria’ found plenty of admirers on the Lido. It’s a genre departure for the man (Guadagnino) who made the sensual awakening tales, ‘Call Me by Your Name’ and ‘I Am Love.’ Yet the obsessive focus on atmosphere in ‘Suspiria’ connects to the director’s previous work, even if the movie becomes a tough slog. Walkouts were plentiful at the screening I attended, thanks to protracted scenes of mutilation and crazy, De Palma-level geysers of blood flooding the climactic dance ritual.”

Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Chloe Grace Moretz and Jessica Harper (who had the lead role in the original) costar in the film mainly shot in Varese, Italy.

Excerpts from our interview with Dakota:

Are you surprised by the controversial response and how vocal people have been?

It’s a true work of art on Luca’s part. I am thrilled to be a part of it. Of course, it’s nice to be involved in a film where everybody leaves the theater happy, but then, do they go home and talk about it?

So, it’s a privilege to be involved in a film where people want to argue about what’s happening, because it’s really time for art to express the things that we need to express. People are ready for it. It’s an interesting moment, especially in cinema. And the fact that it’s a film with a cast of 40 women, but it is still controversial—perhaps we do need to focus on other things?

New Interview of Dakota with Reuters at Venice Film Festival

 
A remake of the 1970s cult classic, “Suspiria” is set in a dance school in Berlin where Johnson’s character Susie, a naive young hopeful from the cornfields of Ohio, arrives to find strange powers at work.

The older women at the academy are impressed by her instinctual, violent dancing, and quickly give her the lead role in an upcoming performance - although the viewer suspects they have something more sinister in mind.

“It was amazing to discover that I could do that with my body, but it was a lot of work, it was a lot of training,” Johnson told Reuters in Venice, where “Suspiria” is competing for a Golden Lion.

“I worked for six months before filming. I was filming another movie in Vancouver, the third ‘50 Shades’ movie, and I would go after work or before to train with the trainer.”

The 28-year-old has another horror movie in the works - “Bad Times at the El Royale” with Jeff Bridges and Chris Hemsworth.

“I think I went through a little horror phase recently,” Johnson said, before realizing that could be mis-heard.

“I said ‘horr-or’ phase, to be clear,” she said, jabbing the air with her finger for emphasis, and adding: “Not ‘whore phase’. Oh God! I don’t know!

“I’m interested in making all kinds of films. I love cinema and I love movies, so I really don’t know what I’ll do next. But the ones coming out are a little, a little ‘different’.”

The Venice Film Festival runs to Sept 8.
