Review of Suspiria (1977) by Harriet M — 18 Aug 2012

I wish wish WISH I could like this movie more. It came so close to being one of my favorite movies of all time but it ultimately falls short. The cinematography, music, set design, and colors are simply stunning, but some of the acting is ridiculous and I couldn't help but feel like this movie would have benefited from a more dreamlike aesthetic.

Argento didn't leave anything to our imagination--he put it all out there. Which was a mistake. I don't want to learn about WHY or HOW the witches use their magic, I just need to know the consequences.

And the ending to this film was completely ridiculous. YOU WERE SO CLOSE, DARIO.
