Suspiria (1977) Edit

A convent deprived of its leader is like a headless cobra... harmless.

A frightening story. But I always warn our students, don't I?

A lot of strange, incredible, absurd events.

After she settled down here, she became subject of a lot of gossip.

Albert, please wait for me upstairs.

All together now.

Ambulance!

And arrived in Germany at 10:40 p.m. local time.

And even the death of those who for whatever reason offended them.

And four! Get your head up higher! You're not paralyzed.

And one and two and three and four!

And one, and two, and three

And one, and two, and three, and four.

And one, and two, and three, and four.

And one, and two, and three, and four.

And one, and two, and three, and four. And one,

And soon the place became the famous dance academy.

And Tanner, she must eat bland food for about a week and no fruit.

And then I heard a car driving off down the street.

And then she was killed.

And then, towards the end of the 19th Century,

And three... Keep it!

And two, and three and four.

Anyway, he is cute.

Are the names of snakes!

As if nothing had happened. It's incredible.

As soon as possible.

As you wish. If that's what you wish, so be it.

Assumed a different, more stylized impostation.

At first a sort of school of dance and occult sciences.

At the Convention Center? Okay, I'll see you there.

Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors,

Because friends spoke to me about witches. I read some stuff.

Because I was Pat's friend.

Because it didn't make any sense. There was a thunder storm.

Before going away, she gave me all the notes.

Behind the sheet.

Believe me, it's the final word in the subject.

Big deal! So what if you've been thrown out of school.

Big difference.

But by broken minds.

But if you'd rather not...

But it's already late and the inconvenience will only be tonight.

But magic is ever present.

But we should let the police know about it.

But what does it mean to be a witch?

By a certain Helena Marcos, a Greek immigrant.

Bye.

Call her father in Geneva. Perhaps she went there.

Call me back tomorrow evening. Give me a chance to think it over.

Can you give me a hand?

Can you hear me? Frank?

Can you hear them?

Can you tell her something about the mysterious?

Can you wait a minute please?

Certainly, as all the other teachers and Miss Tanner.

Come in.

Come on, let's go.

Come on! You tried to get him and didn't make it!

Come on.

Come on. Run along!

Come with me.

Come with me.

Come. I'd like to introduce you to Madame Blanc, our vice directress.

Coming?

Could I see you sometime today?

Daniel!

Dead!

Dead! Dead!

Did you all hear? That miserable dog tired to mutilate him!

Disgusting!

Do you believe in the existence of witches?

Do you understand why I am so worried?

Does anybody know anything about who killed Pat?

Don't be upset if she seems stern. She's even that way with me.

Don't fall asleep! Help me!

Don't get hot under the collar. That's how people are here.

Don't leave me alone.

Don't let anyone come up.

Don't you remember? What's going on?

Earlier in the 19th Century, the Marcos woman had been expelled

Easy!

Easy.

Enough! Enough! Do you know what happened?

Excuse me Milius. I'd like you to meet a friend.

Excuse me, Miss Tanner. Which class do I attend this morning?

Excuse me. Where is everybody?

Expelled yesterday for improper conduct, was murdered last night.

Fantastic! How come I never noticed that before?

First Pat is murdered by a madman, now Daniel is murdered by his dog.

For today, borrow them from someone who has two pairs.

For tonight, I thought of a make shift arrangement.

Fortunately, they only reached the floor below the attic.

Frank Mandel. He's here now.

Fraulein.

Fresh air! Let me out of this place.

From several European countries.

Get it?

Get out of here. Good riddance!

Get your legs up. And one, and two,

Go and see how they're getting along.

Good morning, Miss Tanner.

Good. A glass of red wine with each meal. It works miracles.

Had spent a few hours at school, and slept in the room next to mine.

Half an hour.

Has it rained this hard for long?

He has gotten very handsome ever since he got those false teeth.

He's away for the week end. They don't know anything about her there.

He's cute, but doesn't have any... Never has money for room and board.

He's my nephew. I'm very attached to him.

He's the Italian consul in Geneva, but he wasn't there today.

He's ugly. Don't be afraid to say so. He only speaks Rumanian.

Hear it?

Hear that whistle? It's exactly the same.

Helena, give me power.

Hell is behind that door!

Hello, Frank, can you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Anybody there?

Hello? Hello, Frank?

Hello? Hello?

Hello? May I speak to Frank Mandel, please?

Hello? This is Susy Benner.

Hello. I'm sorry to bother you.

Help me!

Help me! Help me!

Help me! Help! There's a murderer!

Help!

Hey! Listen.

Hey! Why don't you close it?

Hi, Pablos.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Hi. No, you did the right thing.

Hold still. This will get you back into shape in no time.

Hurry up. I'll be waiting for you in the red room.

I always got kicked out of school, beginning from kindergarten.

I am amazed you waited two days before... Hello?

I arrived last night about ten o'clock, but the door was locked.

I can find out where they're going by counting their footsteps.

I can't even think about it.

I can't stand to live in a boarding school like a ten year old.

I can't.

I didn't think it was so important.

I don't know. Miss Tanner obtained tickets for everybody.

I don't think he's a thief. At least you know.

I feel it is an important appendage of contemporary psychiatry.

I had no idea you were so strong willed.

I have known some women who have said to be witches.

I have some in my suitcase. I just need a pair for today.

I have the letter you sent me. It's raining hard. Let me in.

I haven't heard from Sara, but a lot of strange things are happening.

I knew you'd come.

I know her quite well. She was a patient of mine three years ago.

I know that animal well. He's faithful and never hurt anyone.

I know you're upset about Daniel's death as we all have been...

I live at the school and have to be back for supper in a half hour.

I must get away!

I offer you our academy's welcome in the name of our directress.

I once read that names which begin with the letter "S"

I only caught two words: "secret" and "irises".

I only told one person, a very good friend of mine.

I really didn't want to. As soon as I got sick,

I remember she mentioned the word "secret".

I said it doesn't seem to me they're going out.

I see that when you make up your mind, nothing will change it.

I spoke to the chief of police. He said they have some definite clues.

I tell them not to get involved in questionable friendships.

I thought they might be important.

I thought you might be needing them.

I want to introduce Susy Benner, our new student.

I want to see how far along you are.

I want to talk to you about things that have been happening here.

I wrote it yesterday evening when I was sitting next to you.

I'll entrust you to Miss Tanner, one of our veteran teachers here.

I'll go back to the States, but I'm not sure what I will do.

I'll let you read them tonight.

I'll take care of the problem of fumigating in the morning.

I'll tell you everything quickly because the gentlemen are waiting.

I'm convinced that the current belief in magic and the occult,

I'm delighted to have her niece here.

I'm going, but remember that I am blind, not deaf!

I'm really worried about her.

I'm sleepy. I don't know why. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, truly mortified. Please excuse me.

I'm sorry. At any rate, you are here, so welcome to our academy.

I'm the one held responsible by the family.

I've already phoned Sara's father.

I've been expecting you, the American girl.

I've got an offer from the state school of ballet of Geneva. And you?

I've got good news for you. We have your room ready.

I've studied the phenomenon for a long time.

If her magic is a hundred times more powerful than the rest of the coven.

If I see him in a mile of this school, I'll have him put to death!

If it gets worse, I'll stop.

If one of us was in a jam.

If someone chooses hotel rooms, I have no objections,

If you can't see the blood, you'll hear that poor child crying!

If you're happy with the couch, you can stay as long as you please.

In a day or two you'll be on your feet as good as new.

In the most famous school of dance in Europe.

Is it something personal, dear?

Is part of mental illness.

It all seems so absurd, so fantastic. All I can do is get away from here.

It arrived spoiled, and in a few days you see what happened.

It can only be achieved by injury to others.

It clears up anemia and strengthens red corpuscles.

It didn't last long because in 1905, after being cursed at for 10 years,

It doesn't matter, but your letter said you would board at the school.

It is a little hard to believe.

It means, "Magic is everywhere, and all over the world.

It seems she left and took all her luggage. Yes.

It was just the wind.

It was so weird. I never forgot it.

It's a recognized fact. Always."

It's her. The one you hear snoring.

It's impossible. There's got to be another way out.

It's late. I'm turning off the lights. Good night everyone!

It's like a serpent. Its strength rests with its leader, with its head.

It's like the thread of Ariadne.

It's more than that.

It's nothing. I just feel weak.

It's useless to explain. You wouldn't understand.

It's very comfortable. Just like being in camp.

It's very upsetting. I can't understand why she did it.

It's your excercises. If someone is out of practice

Jesus, Susy! You're a genius.

Just to be sure, we'll check the other floors too.

Keep an eye on that lighter. He really likes it.

Last year for a while I lived in one of the guest rooms.

Last year he discovered he had gingivitis of the gums.

Lately she was upset by some notions put in her head by a friend.

Let me in! Pat!

Lies!

Listen.

Look! Look!

Looking for Sara? She disappeared.

Madame Blanc had to take him to a first aid center for stitches!

Madame Marcos died in a fire.

Madame, it's nothing, as I told the young lady.

Make her disappear! Understand?

Mark? Mark?

Maybe Pat was talking to someone inside the building.

Maybe they got together this morning and went off on their own.

Maybe we can find out where they really go.

Miss Tanner, did the directress sleep here last night?

Miss Tanner, I have something to tell you.

Miss Tanner, I'd like a few moments alone with Susy.

Mumbling to herself.

My compliments.

My name is Olga, and you're my tenant.

Next year after I finish the course,

No, but I have a strange feeling that somebody already told me about it.

No, go on.

No, nothing like that.

No, of course not. Go ahead.

No, okay. Take them, but give them back, huh?

No, she didn't.

No, we've never met. I'm a friend of Sara's.

No, you didn't tell me that.

No! No!

No! Please!

No. I didn't know you were a psychiatrist.

Not deaf.

Not deaf. You understand that?

Now death is coming for you,

Now some exercises. Daniel, you may begin.

Now you need peace and quiet. If the hemorrhage should start,

Now you put them on the hunt for somebody.

Now, come along and join the others. Let's go.

Of course! Yes!

Of course.

Oh, great. Where?

Oh, yes.

Olga ran and got my bags and threw me out of her place.

On a restricted diet they give you wine?

One day at nine in the morning she left the airport of New York

One night I heard someone coming, very late.

One,

One, two, three and four.

Open 1

Or something similar. I can't remember.

Our courses last 3 years. You must pass an exam at the end of each year.

Pablos, how much longer do I have to eat like this?

Pat was taking notes on them for months.

Pat! Pat!

Please Susy, wake up!

Please.

Poor Daniel, torn to pieces. Incredible.

Poor Pat. She liked him a lot. Poor kid. Ending up like that.

Professor Milius can answer you. He wrote "Paranoia or Magic?"

Really?

Remember that voice when you rang the bell?

Rest well. You're in good hands.

Same with me at first, then I found out it was a habit here.

Sara, forget it. It's okay.

Sara? I heard the door closing and her footsteps down the hall.

Sara.

Sara.

See you tomorrow.

See? It was eleven o'clock.

She also left me your 50 dollars. She didn't take a penny of it.

She also wrote a number of books and I read that among the initiated,

She came to me for treatment. After she got better, we remained friends.

She chose the celebrated academy of Freiburg.

She could have told someone. Why sneak off like a thief?

She didn't warn any of her classmates. I asked all of them.

She disappeared from school this morning.

She felt terrible when they kicked her out, but she deserved it.

She got scared and she ran away.

She had blonde hair and was wearing a brown raincoat.

She had discovered that the Tam Academy was founded in 1895,

She had something about her which urged religious people

She hasn't eaten or had anything to drink this evening.

She is away on a trip. She may come to visit us two weeks from now.

She is here!

She lived and died in this city. Did you know that?

She must have thought I had something contagious.

She put her hands on a lot of money and founded the Tam Academy.

She really is an invaluable teacher.

She said things that made no sense.

She was a busy body. It was easy for her to find out

She was a famous ballerina.

She was acting very strange.

She was always arguing, causing trouble.

She was heard leaving about six. You heard her leave?

She was in hysterics almost.

She was mumbling some strange, unrelated words.

She was telling me something when you suddenly showed up.

She went by the name of Black Queen.

She's a new student. She just arrived. What did she look like?

She's interested in your favorite subject... witches.

She's there right behind that sheet.

Sickness! Sickness! Away with trouble! Dead!

Skepticism is the natural reaction of people nowadays.

So he had all his teeth pulled.

So, the girl left the school about 11 o'clock in the evening.

Somebody said they didn't know who I was and didn't let me in.

Something terrible happened. One of our students, Pat Hingle,

Sorry Miss Tanner, I feel a little weak. Can I rest?

Squak, squak, Polly parrot!

Squak, squak, squak! Mata Hari is going to file her report.

Stop it 1

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Sure. I got it... okay.

Susy Benner decided to perfect her ballet studies

Susy Benner, our new student.

Susy, do you know anything about witches?

Susy, if they don't leave, where do they go?

Susy, wake up I

Susy, we're next door neighbors.

Susy! Are you asleep?

Susy.

Taxi! Taxi!

Taxi! Taxi!

Thank you for taking care of the fumigating so promptly.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, but I'm leaving in the morning. I'm going away forever.

That makes me happy. We'll do nicely together. You are sweet.

That's a relief.

That's all there is, as far as witchcraft is concerned.

That's enough now!

That's funny. I heard he was...

That's not it. I don't give a damn about being kicked out.

That's why that bitch Tanner gives him a thousand errands to do.

The bell. It's only 15 minutes till supper. I'd better change.

The blood lost in the hemorrhage needs an intake of liquids.

The boy must have done something to him first!

The boys offered to help. Practice hall will turn into a dormitory.

The carpet. That's why the footsteps stopped here.

The correct word is a "coven" of witches. A woman becomes queen

The front door is on the left.

The living death!

The local people believed her to be a witch.

The minute she heard you were ill, she brought your things.

The next morning Madame Blanc told me the directress

The notes are gone. Someone stole them from me.

The one on top of the stairs.

The poor little animal, the poor little puppy.

The school was taken over by her favorite pupil.

The secret! I saw beyond the door!

The secret! I saw beyond the door. Three irises! Turn the blue one!

The secret! I saw beyond the door. Three irises! Turn the blue one!

The study of the occult was abandoned,

The technique of classical ballet

The upper ones one morning, the bottom ones a day later. Bang!

The witch with a tremendous talent for doing evil, mistress of magic.

Their footsteps are going to the right, inside the school.

Their goal is to accumulate great personal wealth.

Their knowledge of the art of the occult gives them tremendous powers.

Then get out, you and your dog! Get moving!

Then I heard this weird kind of snoring.

Then she mentioned a flower. Iris, I think, or lilac.

There they go, right on schedule. The teachers... remember?

There's a murderer!

They can cause suffering, sickness,

They can change the course of events and people's lives, through harm.

They get very upset if you show up late for supper.

They got into bed in the room next to mine.

They have all gone to the theater for the opening of the Bolshoi.

They leave after supper at 9:30, just like clockwork.

They lied to us. The directress is here.

They tell me you have to give me 50 dollars a week.

They were wild ideas.

They're going away.

They're malefic, negative and destructive.

They're policemen. I knew a woman called Benner years ago in New York.

This academy is dedicated to specializing.

This is Pablos, our general handyman.

This is the key that will get us where the teachers go.

This is the only thing I've got left, because I kept it on me.

Those 8 on the list this morning come with me to the yellow room.

Those movements can cause tears in the ligaments. That's the hemorrhage.

Three irises... turn the blue one!

To persecute her.

Twenty.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Understand? They disappeared.

Vanish! She must vanish! She must die! Die! Die!

Vanish! Vanish!

Wait! Wait a minute.

Wake up I

We bought those cases of food by mail from a firm we thought was honest.

We don't teach you to dance here. Our students already know how.

We expected you yesterday evening.

We found you a place with one of our students who lives in town.

We know that someone wasn't one of the teachers.

We need to count the steps as they go.

We'll all sleep together.

We've got to get rid of that bitch American girl.

Weak? It's an easy step. This is the first time we work together.

Well, I have an appointment. Keep me posted.

Well, she had a nervous breakdown after her mother's death.

Well, that really got Sara's imagination going.

Well, that was me.

Well, then?

Well? What is it?

Were you aware of that?

What did you say? Wake up!

What difference does that make to you?

What do witches do?

What is it that got you so upset?

What is it?

What is it?

What is it? Come on.

What is it? Who's there?

What would you like to know?

What?

What?

What?

What's up?

When I got here last night about 11 I saw a girl leaving the school.

Where do you think it's coming from?

Which is very improbable, telephone me.

Who is it? Who's there?

Who's there?

Who's there?

Who's there?

Why did she do that? If I wanted to, I would...

Why didn't anyone tell me about it?

Why do you have all this interest in the occult?

Without telling anyone... just packed her bags and left.

Would you mind if I used the bathroom? I'd like to dry off.

Yeah.

Yes, but before we both get upset, let's wait for her father's return.

Yes, but it wasn't necessary.

Yes, hello. Do you know where Sara is?

Yes, I can hear you very well. Did you see how he was blushing?

Yes, okay.

Yes, thank you.

Yes, you told me that.

Yes.

Yes. Might there exist a guild of witches?

Yes. She looks much better.

You can never trust wolfhounds. They're crazy. We had two once.

You can tell me about it later.

You can use the pool when you want.

You can't?

You caught one.

You didn't have to bring them. I could've picked them up myself.

You don't believe me?

You hear that snoring? It's weird.

You hear them?

You knew that?

You know that I saw her the night that I arrived here.

You look better. You have color back in your cheeks, right?

You must drink. You heard what the doctor said.

You really messed things up.

You see? So I know she is the directress.

You sure are in bad shape.

You want to kill me. You want to kill Helena Marcos.

You wanted to kill Elena Marcos?

You'll pay 50 dollars a week but you can deduct it from your fee here.

You're going to meet death, now!

You're pretty, very pretty indeed.

You're skeptical, my dear.

You've done very well. I don't know what those words mean either.

Your disgusting dog has bitten Albert!

Your locker is over there. You'll find everything, except shoes.

Your room here isn't free.

Alright. Let's warm up. What wrong? Don't you feel well?

And thanks to Professor Verdegas. Verdegas?

Are the other floors alright? All except the student rooms floor.

Are you eating up here? Yeah. I have a restricted diet.

Are you sleeping? What's the matter?

Bravo. Alright? Yes, thank you.

Can anyone lend me shoes? Yes, me.

Carol Benner. She's my aunt.

Ciao. Ciao.

Ciao. See you later. Okay.

Come on. Drink up. No.

Do the teachers live at school? No, they live in town.

Even if I've the name of a snake? I was kidding.

Ever hear of Helena Marcos? She was the famous Black Queen.

Excuse me, gentlemen. Of course.

Excuse me. It doesn't matter.

Frank. It's Susy, Sara's friend. Susy? Hello?

Go away! You don't understand.

Good morning, Daniel. Good morning, Miss Tanner.

Good morning, Madame Blanc. Good morning, Daniel.

Good morning. Good morning, Daniel. Good morning, Miss Tanner.

Good morning. May I help you? Yes. I am Susy Benner.

Good. Are you sleeping here too?

Good. Are you alright? Yes, thank you.

He looked at you? Yeah.

He took a piece of Albert's arm! What?

Hello! Hi.

Help me. I can't.

Hi. Hi.

How do you feel, dear? Better.

How do you know? I'm sure it's her.

How do you like it at Olga's? It's nice.

I can't... Talk louder. Something happen?

I got scared. No, that's not it.

I just got in from New York. I don't know you.

I know, but... The room is free now.

I talked to her last night. She left this morning.

I won't allow such talk! You won't allow it?

I'm Miss Tanner, an instructor. Nice to meet you.

I'm not much of a gossip. Not a gossip? That's a good one.

In advance. Don't worry. If you think...

Is everything alright? Yes, thank you.

Is everything in order now? All is done, Madame.

Is something wrong? No. Everything is alright.

Is that guy hot for you? Maybe.

It has nothing to do with you. It's not Madame Blanc's fault.

It was awful! One got in my mouth!

It's impossible! Let's go to the first aid center!

It's impossible. She wasn't happy here.

Just a slight wait. But don't worry.

Just for a minute? No. I have to be going.

Madame Blanc? Yes?

Maybe there's a hex on the place. Let's call in the exorcist.

Not you, I hope. No.

Okay, see you. Well, ciao.

Right, Professor Verdegas? Obviously.

So, you moved in here. They moved me in here.

Susy. Good morning, Madame.

Tell me all about it. The wind. The windows burst open.

Thanks a lot. It's nothing.

Thanks. My room is really pretty. Like it?

That's my information. Excuse me.

The second year class. Red room. Thank you.

The talk about money bothers you? I'm not used to it.

There was so much noise. God, was she difficult.

They're coming from the ceiling. Everybody downstairs.

They're not leaving the school. What?

Unfortunately, she is abroad. Thanks.

Want to stay for a while? No, thanks. I can't.

What did she do? I just saw her for a minute.

What is it? What's the matter?

What? Because...

What? Escher Strassa.

What's that supposed to mean? I don't know.

Where are they coming from? I don't know. Let's go see.

Where are we going? To the locker room.

Where? Escher Strassa.

Where? Everywhere, the whole floor.

Who brought my bags? Olga. What a dear!

Who is it? Susy Benner.

Who said that to you? She didn't say her name.

Who said that? Enough of these little games!

Wow. You come back strong. I feel really well.

You bitch! Out!

You can buy them for 30 Marks. No, thanks.

You can move today if you like. I'd rather stay at Olga's.

You liar! Shut up! We want to sleep.

You saw her yesterday evening? Outside the school.

You're not touchy like Sara, huh? No.

"Iris."

"Quoddam ubiquae, quoddam semper quoddam ab omnibus creditum est".

"Secret."
