Review of Suspiria (2018) by Jluis_001 — 02 Feb 2019

Needless to say, when people heard about a remake of Suspiria, a lot of them lost their minds. Although Argento's film became a horror classic, it was never a great film, but I won't get involved in that matter.

I don't really want to expand my opinion a lot, but I must mention that this film left me incredibly happy and satisfied. The colors of the original film contrast in a brutal way in the cold and gray visual tone of this remake/reimagination.

The level of the director is superior to Argento's and what to say about the story; Much darker and frontal and although it has certain details - like the political narrative - honestly I never had a moment of boredom in this huge story of almost two and a half hours of duration.

Tilda Swinton is spectacular and although Dakota Johnson is the protagonist and she really doesn't do a bad job, the character you will remember and talk about the most is Tilda Swinton's and if you consider that she also plays the horrifying Helena Markos and Doctor Josef Klemperer, I can say easily that this film belongs to her.

What more can I say? This film will go to my collection immediately. It's not perfect but boy did I enjoy the full voyage.
