FABulous!
You know I've always loved Suspiria but this time found it a bit wanting in relation to some of the other films we've seen in both semesters of my Horror classes. Maybe I've outgrown it for the moment. It made me think of my favorite Italian-Film-To-Rag-Upon, Io Sono Amore (don't get me started!)--gorgeous and exciting, full of sound (GOBLIN!) and fury (razor-wire room?) signifying nothing. Yes, there are hints at fascism and maybe class insulation but is there even a hint ("a bat squeak" as PM, David Cameron says)of critique? Well there is a phenomenal bat...Still as far as style (Italianate, 70's Deco, Nouveau Modern decor, clothes, maekup and hair),sound, wallpaper and just plain nuttiness in horror goes, Suspiria is beato!
"Just curious, what's going on in this scene?"
