"Luca had seen this thing I did at the Louvre Museum in 2013," Jalet said, "and thought it was almost literally the dance described in the script for the film. [Suspiria features a dance based on the Gorgons, of which Medusa was one.] The really spooky thing is that when I brought the three female dancers together to make that dance, I told them, 'Listen, there is this film I want to show you. We are not going to pull anything from it directly, but there's something in its spirit that I would like you to capture.'" That film was 1977's original Suspiria.
