Suspiria

wow this has to be one of my favorite horror movies of all time. i absolutely love how little this film holds back. they don’t try to gaslight you into thinking Patrizia is crazy but instead, immediately reveal their identities and immense powers.  thirty minutes in exists probably my favorite dolly zooms ever done in a movie. the camerawork in this was so good. the lighting was interesting, and the usage of mirrors was absolutely brilliant.  i need to give flowers to dakota johnson because i did NOT know she had that dog in her. the way she danced seemed so professional and it never felt like she was being outpaced. i know that took so much training to accomplish.  speaking of the cast, there are so many great actresses in here? tilda swinton? mia goth? chloë grace moretz? also the fact that tilda swinton played more than one character in this and i didn’t even realize till the credits is insane. wow what a woman. she could sacrifice me in a ritual any day.  until that crazy reveal at the end, i thought Sara (mia goth) and Susie (dakota johnson) should have been a couple. they had so many sweet moments.  i can already tell this is a film where you notice small yet hugely important details in each rewatch.  luca guadagnino, everything you touch turns to gold and i’m so sad the trilogy for this was cancelled.
