This is by far, Dario Argento's best movie, and it may be the best Italian horror movie, period.
If you're looking for an elaborate history with twists and great developed characters, Suspiria is not for you. The plot is the least important thing here, even unexisting for a portion of the runtime. This apparent weakness, is overcome by some of the greatest filmmaking of all time.
Beautifully shot, with bombastic colors, something you didn't seen in an horror movie back in the day. The amazing cinematography is best exemplified in the first killing scene, that is in my opinion one of the most memorable scenes in any movie.
Now that I have seen Suspiria both in the english and italian version, I can say that you can watch whatever version you want, the acting is great anyways. Jessica Harper performance is compelling, the innonce and naivety she gives to her character makes you care about her. Stefania Casini is good as Sara too, though I may say her death scene is disappointing.
The Goblin score is very well known. For some is great, for some people is bad. The first time that I saw Suspiria, I fouded it so annoying. With time, I came to appreciate it a lot more. I don't love it, but it fits so well with the style of the film that I can imagine different music in this.
I just love this movie, is style over substance done in the best possible way. Recommended for true horror fans.
