I've only see a few Gaillo films. I never really understood their appeal story-wise.
I've always seen them as something you experience, like a Lynch film, rather then understand.
In fact,... in my experience, most of the plots are very... confusing. As if little effort was put into them. Not a fan of all of those reviews claiming that such-and-such a Gaillo is the most suspenseful movie ever made (surpassing Hitchcock, one even said...)
I think of Gaillo as a picture book rather then a novel. It's nice to look at, and to feel, but there's not any surface-subject.
Visually, they are stunning. Great use of contrast. Breath-taking set and costume design. The dubbed language tracks add a certain flair. I admit I am a fan of the soundtrack.
Gaillo is arthouse. And yes, it is often over-rated. Suspiria, in my opinion, was completely ruined due to it's incredible hype.
