Tag der Idioten (1981)

 

In a clinic for the insane, the medical staff performs acts of sadomasochism on the patients.

From memory: A very stylized and theatrical approach to dementia is more interested in displaying its topic than actually giving any in-depth analysis; very artificial and artsy and a bit off-putting.

 

 

Suspiria (2018)

A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist.

Artful re-imagination of an already highly stylish horror classic has a lot going for it (style, great sets, cast, atmosphere and a great soundtrack), but far outstays its welcome, disappoints with an over-the-top ending and generally can't hold a candle to the original.
