🎥 Movies of 2021, 40: Suspiria. Apparently this is “Long art-horror films featuring nude dances” week. Huh.
I’ve seen the original, but don’t really remember it much. I’m not a big Argento fan. I remember liking the music. This one is much more in its own head, more a long squeeze than a quick stab. I was mostly with it, up until the end of chapter 5. Then it kind of fell apart for me. For a film that had such great physical effects, the CGI-laden climax felt like the wrong way to go and the whole thing felt like a heavy metal music video gone awry.
How anyone could think that wasn’t Tilda Swinton in makeup is beyond me. A great performanc and fantastic makeup, yeah, but she still sounded exactly like Tilda Swinton.
