SUSPIRIA
This tale of witchcraft at a German dance academy is one of the most beautiful, dream-like horror films ever conceived, and quite simply the crowning achievement of a stylistic master, Italian director Dario Argento. Based on essays in Thomas DeQuincey's «Suspiria de Profundiis», Argento's film deals with one of «The Three Mothers» - ancient and powerful witches who live in various dwelling-places around the world in order to spread evil. The musical score by synth-rock group Goblin may be the loudest ever devised, and Argento's baroque visuals overwhelm the viewer in nearly every frame. (Robert Firsching)
