Ah, now you’re making me wish I knew what Criterion was & whether we’ll ever get it in the UK. It sounds like exactly the kind of thing I shouldn’t watch & therefore I want to very much.
"Confronting people in real life amounts to a demand that they renounce their identity, and we ask a lot when we ask for that. How many people— whether they’re fully committed to the cause, or just weekend cleavers— will recognize their own pathology when cornered?" Absolutely. Brilliant summary of situation in our public dialogues. As for Gallo, I stopped at Suspiria. I suspected I should push on, but my heart wasn't in it. LOL.
Suspiria really is as good as giallo gets. And i pedantically insist that it’s not even really a giallo. But it might as well be. It’s more entertaining than any actual giallo film. It’s impossibly good, for what it is. But when i was younger, I didn’t like it. It grew on me. Deep Red is a respectable runner up. Bird with the crystal plumage is also pretty damn good, etc. But yes, i hear you.

I’m having trouble using substack today so i don’t know of the rest of my reply posted.
Difficult to tell! I got the link, though, & I’ll check it out, thank you.
