The Italian director Dario Argento, behind such films as The Bird with Crystal Plumage, Deep Red, Tenebre, Inferno and Phenomena among many others, including the film under discussion in the Cinema Immersion Tank today, SUSPIRIA, once said, " Films are dreams. Many, many critics say to me that my films are not good because they are too unbelievable, but this is my style. I tell stories like they are dreams. This is my imagination."
How, then, does Suspiria hold up as a dream, or even as a story? What does this (once) heralded master of the Italian "Giallo" film have to do to get his audiences entranced and frightened? And, most importantly, did our intrepid co-host Andrew get there? Find out on this 20th installment of the Cinema Immersion Tank.
