Berberian Sound Studio
Directed by Peter Strickland
A sound mixer working on an Dario Argento-style giallo is drawn into a surreal nightmare in Peter Strickland’s critically acclaimed homage to ‘70s Italian horror. Toby Jones (THE MIST) stars as the master Foley artist who’s brought to Italy to work on a gruesome gore flick. As he starts stabbing vegetables and going to further extremes to make the disturbing sound effects, the line between what’s real and what’s fiction starts to break down - a scary but apt metaphor for both the process of creating cinema and the experience of viewing it. Stylish and chilling.

not great.
Not very good. I am a big Gialo fan. This did a good job of portraying the horrors the women had to endure but missed the mark.
I usually love mind trip horror. Especially the very quiet kind that you have to really pay attention to and think about. This tried to be that, and failed.
Did not understand it at all
