Nov 9 movie: Suspiria. Lisa watched Suspiria with me tonight so I wouldn't have to watch it alone. As expected, it was creepy. Cree-pee. It never got scarier or gorier than the first big set piece, which I had already seen. That was a big relief: I knew I could handle that level of scariness but I wasn't sure if I could deal with more.
The stylishness of the movie, those amazing art nouveau sets, were the best part for me. I wonder where that building is, and whether it's open to the public. Because I go to Europe so often you know, I could just pop by anytime and see it.
Watching it with someone else really helped to break the tension. (And Moses helped too by sitting between us and purring.) Like when the girl falls into all the barbed wire, Lisa quipped, "oh yeah, that's where we keep the barbed wire!" Based on the barbed wire scene, we decided that Dario Argento is the master of "Stop! Enough!" We also decided that the coven has a faulty business model. If they keep killing off their students, the school isn't going to stay open for long, now is it?
