What critics compared Amer to
Biller is not like Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani , the directors of such retro-homaging genre fare as “Amer.”
Restored blu-rays of Dario Argento and Mario Bava’s films are inviting renewed considerations of the genre outside the canonized Suspiria, and Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s Amer presented a dedicated contemporary revisitation of the genre.
