I know this isnt cool and perhaps pointless to say, but I wish a woman had remadeSuspiria.

Let me unpack that.

But I love Luca Guadagninos grotesque, political, radically feminine (feminist?

Theres a cutting, brutal answer to his quest late in the film.

Some may not make it through that sequence.

Its a crazy line, and jarringly out of place in what is an almost entirely sexless film.

There is no lust inSuspiria,so often an easy chaser for violence in the horror genre.

But what is the alternative, in the world of the film?
