I haven't seen the original (or any Argento for that matter) but was vaguely aware of the fascism allegories and the weird music. Visually Guadagnino tries a lot of stuff, and some of the rehearsal scenes really hit the spot, as well as the dream sequences. But the movie never gets into a rhythm (maybe because of the flashbacks, and the doctor subplot) and fails to ramp itself enough for the big finale. Also I was puzzled why the constant references to Baader-Meinhoff stuff were always in the background but never really fleshed out. The witches hinted at Patrizia being in league with them, but left it at that. I did like the Thom Yorke music though it too was a bit disjointed.
