I am a bit of a fan of Dario Argento, director of many giallo films (Italian horror films) from the 70s and 80s. I have a soft spot for Phenomena and Tenebrae but for me (and many others) his masterpiece is Suspiria. The tale follows ballet student Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) who arrives at the prestigious Tanz Academy in Freiburg. The school is plagued by gruesome and supernatural happenings as students begin to die in horrific circumstances. Suzy tries to uncover what is happening but will she find out before it’s too late?

The film is famous for its vivid colour, artistic cinematography and dramatic synthesiser music by cult band, Goblin.

Argento is doing a talk at the Barbican on 14 Nov 2017, 20:30 after a 4K restoration of the film. I couldn't get tickets as they sold out almost instantly but I hope the Barbican will release some footage of the event and the talk online maybe. If you want to attend the screening and interview maybe you can find some online somewhere at a premium price...
