Review of Berberian Sound Studio (2012) by Johnny B — 28 Mar 2015
Best wishes to both Peter Strickland and Toby Jones in this love letter to 70s Italian horror. Sadly I finished this feeling it was a lost opportunity to record someone's descent and corruption into horror and that it needed to show more explictly the depiction of the protagonist's dilemma of how deep he wanted to go to bring authenticity to recording horror.
Pulling off arthouse is a skill in itself mastered by David Lynch, unfortunatley Strickland is still learning the ropes on this effort. Best of luck with the next attempt.
