Her disappearance creates a series of unfortunate events that develop the plot of the horror drama. During an interview with an entertainment outlet AV Club, the 30 Rock actor spoke about her preparation for the character of Patricia. She said-
“Being able to play that character was really interesting. It’s really only, like, a 20-page role; it’s the very top of the film and the last five minutes, so I came in the third month of production. They were three weeks from wrapping, so it was intense. They were deep in the trenches. And [Guadagnino] wanted my entire sequence in German, and he wanted it shot in all oners. So he was like, “No brakes, no nothing.”
While talking about learning German for Suspiria, the actor said-
“You have to learn it all in German.” And then two days before we did it, he was like, “I don’t want just German—I want it to be German English”—like, German and English integrated. And it needed to flow in proper sentences as if she were speaking both languages. And I was like, “Cool!”
Suspiria was well-received by the audience and the list of nominations and awards speaks volumes about it. With an IMDb rating of 6.7 out of 10, the movie is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
