Mother Of Tears [2007]

Product Information

The sequel, Inferno, developed the overarching plot continuities concerning the three central witches when released in 1980. She heads for Marta's house and discovers that Lachrymarum's minions have murdered Marta and her lover.

Noodle Implements: An urn contains artifacts sacred to the Mother of Tears, but except for her tunic, they're forgotten about immediately after the first murder. Michael visits the Cardinal who sent the urn to the museum, but the Cardinal has had a severe stroke and is now comatose. Opening this ancient cask has unleashed The Mother of Tears (Mother Lachimarum), the demonic spirit of a long dead witch, upon the city--resulting in a wave of suicides and violent behavior.Written by Argento, Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch, the film is the concluding installment of Argento's supernatural horror trilogy The Three Mothers, preceded by Suspiria (1977) and Inferno (1980). This early script began immediately after Inferno, with a witch who survived the destruction of Mater Tenebrarum's home watching a detective ( Ennio Fantastichini) investigating a series of murders at a university. According to journalist Alan Jones, this title "was never in the running as far as Dario was concerned. After being briefly paralyzed by the alchemist (so that he could perform a test on her to see if she was a white witch or an evil witch), the alchemist gives Sarah the only help he has in locating Mater Lachrymarum's dwelling.

For this to be in the same trilogy as Suspiria (which I really disliked upon first viewing but have since come to appreciate), or even from the same director, just puts a lurching sort of nausea in me. On 17 May 2007 at 9:30 am Myriad premiered 20 minutes of footage from the film, consisting of eight lengthy scenes, to a packed audience.The idea of "Three Mothers" comes from " Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow", a section of Thomas de Quincey's Suspiria de Profundis.

The urn is shipped to the Museum of Ancient Art in Rome, where Sarah Mandy ( Asia Argento), an American studying art restoration, works. Primary filming occurred in Rome, although some parts were filmed in Turin and at the Cinecittà studios in Terni. We want realistic piercing screams down dark alleys, not drowned out by loud music, and we want strong characters we can fear or identify with, and a catchy tune that brings its pleasurable memory thrill every time we hear it.Big Bad: Mater Lachrymarum is the titular Mother of Tears, the one responsible for all of the chaos in Rome, and plans to spread that chaos across the world. If “Suspiria” was an ominous piece of classical music, then this film is a melodic death metal song by comparison. Sarah locates De Witt, an alchemist whom Marta mentioned as someone who could help her against Mater Lachrymarum.
