According to IMDb, an 82-year-old German actor named Lutz Ebersdorf is playing Dr. Jozef Klemperer in this year’s Suspiria, but many have been theorizing that the unknown actor is actually Tilda Swinton in heavy “old man” makeup. We still don’t know the truth and it’s possible we may never know, but goddamn is it a compelling little mystery.
On that note, Ebersdorf’s Klemperer gets his own character poster today. Look closely…
In the new film…
“A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the troupe’s artistic director (Swinton), an ambitious young dancer (Johnson), and a grieving psychotherapist (Ebersdorf). Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.”
The cast includes Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace-Moretz, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Sylvie Testud, Renée Soutendijk, Angela Winkler, Małgosia Bela and Lutz Ebersdorf.
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke composed the score. David Kajganich wrote the film, co-financed by Amazon Studios and K Period Media.
