Luca Guadagnino's collaborative process, particularly with screenwriters David Kajganich and Justin Kuritzkes, emphasizes the importance of extensive research in shaping narratives. Kajganich highlights that adapting "Suspiria" involved studying the historical context of witchcraft to intertwine themes of female empowerment and societal fears. Their shared experiences reveal the depth needed in storytelling, balancing factual research with creative interpretation to create compelling cinematic narratives, as seen in Guadagnino's body of work.
"I went into just hard research about the history of witchcraft, about that kind of esoteric iconography. I did a lot of research that was really about how witchcraft and the fear of witches really was a fear of female empowerment."
"So, I just wanted to try to build something that had one foot in actual research about witchcraft, and one foot in... the transgressive and subversive narratives about female empowerment."
