Berberian Sound Studio
Dir: Peter Strickland
2012
****
Berberian Sound Studio is open to interpretation, that's the beauty of film, it can do that. Peter Strickland focuses his passion and obsession to both sound and old Italian horror films. Why the hell not. It works really well too, it's reminiscent of Gallio cinema without being a rip off and the attention to sound is impressive to say the least. It's definitely a film to get lost in, only then do I think you can really appreciate and enjoy. I watched it on my own in a dark room and thoroughly enjoyed it. Toby Jones was a great choice of protagonist too. It's nice to see a revisit to this kind of pace and content, it's like the 70's are back and I love that. It certainly goes far in proving that with horror films, the scare is in the sound.
