It's one of those films that grows on you.
I admit, I wasn't stunned by it when I first saw it but every time I watch it I get more and more fascinated by it.
As for you, Angra, I admit I probably oversold Suspiria's impact, possibly to sell it a little to SoulPizza, but I take exception to your remark about my cineliteracy.
:p
I think with films, people go into them looking at different aspects. Don't get me wrong if an area is deeply flawed, most people will pick up on it and take exception to it, but I feel most people are drawn to some aspects in particular.
For example, I'm someone who instantly watches films with a strong visual sense and that's how I digest them for the most part and most of my favourite directors are very visually-inclined (Kubrick, Lean, Scott, Herzog etc.)
That's what draws me to Suspiria and, imo, you can't take away from me what I believe is a truly stunning film visually.
