[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12401″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]If you saw 2017’s Baby Driver, you’ll agree that one of the best scenes was towards the end of the film involving Jon Hamm looking positively murderous, about to drive his car into Ansel Elgort’s Baby. Director Edgar Wright reveals that it was the original Suspiria that influenced his film and the hyperreal use of color.
In regards to Suspiria, Wright states that it is “one of the great set pieces in horror cinema”, continuing on:
“Most horror films start with a sense of normality, and then plunge you into the horror world at the end of the first act. “Hot Fuzz,” and “Baby Driver” director. “But in ‘Suspiria’ everything is intensely sinister from the very start, and not just because of [Italian prog-rock band] Goblin’s unsettling, nursery rhyme score, with its chants of ‘Witch, witch’ (alerting English-speaking audiences [of the Italian-language film] to what’s coming down the tracks).”
He then commented on that stand-out scene in Baby Driver:
“If you look at the end of ‘Baby Driver,’ where Jon Hamm is in the police car, you’ve got the red and blue lights – that was very deliberate. That hyperreal use of color tells you that you’re entering a slightly fantastical dimension – which is something I took from Argento’s work.”
