Berberian Sound StudioIn the 1970s, a British sound technician is brought to Italy to work on the sound effects for a gruesome horror film. His nightmarish task slowly takes over his psyche, driving him to confront his own past. Berberian Sound Studio is many things: an anti-horror film, a stylistic tour de force, and a dream of cinema. As such, it offers a kind of pleasure that is rare in films, while recreating in a highly original way the pleasures of Italian horror cinema. (c) IFC Unrated.

Review For Berberian Sound Studio | |
Director Peter Strickland reaches for something more significant that he never quite finds, but by then you may be too entertained to care. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Fans of Dario Argento and Mario Bava will appreciate the references. Even for newcomers, there are minor chords to enjoy. If only there were less screaming. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News A twisted tribute to analog moviemaking and 1970s Italian Giallo horror flicks. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times Berberian Sound Studio may scan as a psychological thriller, but it's really a lavish gift to film geeks in a lovely matryoshka box. Michael Atkinson-Village Voice The creepiness builds with symphonic precision until reality truly is indistinguishable from fantasy. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York Mesmerizing, but the images stand alone and incomplete. Matt Patches-Film.com There's a lot to like here, although I will admit that it's a film I admire for its originality more than I actually enjoy. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com Manages to evoke the crimson-splashed shockers of the 1970s without so much as a single frame of actual carnage. A.A. Dowd-AV Club Much like this film's main character, you can't quite explain what's got you so afraid -- you just know that you are. Tim Grierson-Paste Magazine A lush, disturbing voyage into a gradual mental breakdown, artfully crafted by director Peter Strickland, who provides magnificent attention to detail and a fixation on an unsettling sense of decay. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Poses some compelling questions about the emotional and mental impact of making dark, violent, disturbing films. Scott Weinberg-FEARnet The second feature from Katalin Varga director Peter Strickland is an idiosyncratic, impeccably crafted mindbender that shifts between the beguiling and the bemusing. Allan Hunter-Screen International On the surface an amusing black comedy that parodies the horror movie's continual status as the cultural black sheep of the cinematic landscape, but it's most prominently concerned with painting a sonic portrait of alienation. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Terror of sorts takes place inside a studio creating a schlock horror movie in a film that shows technical expertise with only a moderately involving narrative. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve The narrative rule of thumb is show, don't tell, but this film does the opposite, to sinister effect. Nathalie Atkinson-National Post That keen awareness of aural matters also allows director Peter Strickland to convey the engineer's deteriorating hold on reality with genuine subtlety. Jason Anderson-The Grid This is the proverbial curate's egg of a film: good in parts. Keith H. Brown-Eye for Film Watching Gilderoy behind the soundboard is like watching a maestro with his baton.
