Suspiria (2018) (サスペリア)

A Japanese B5 double-sided movie flyer issued in 2019 for Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018), starring Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton and Mia Goth. It accompanied the film’s Japanese theatrical release on January 25, 2019.

The front is dominated by deep reds and black. A towering dancer presides over an ensemble of outstretched arms, while Dakota Johnson’s face emerges near the bottom, just above the overlapping red English and white Japanese titles.

The reverse changes perspective completely. An overhead photograph of Johnson against a geometric patterned floor sits above a large red block of Japanese text. Below it, a sequence of film stills leads to the January 25 release announcement.

Set in late-1970s Berlin, Guadagnino’s film brings dance, ritual and horror together, with music by Thom Yorke. The flyer gives particular weight to movement and composition, using its two sides to alternate between a theatrical image and a more detailed introduction to the film.
