Berberian Sound Studio is the setting for this extraordinary film about a sound-effects expert in the 1970's.
In this sinister film, Peter Strickland the director, uses the power of sugestion through sounds to describe what we are used to see on image.
Gilderoy (played by Toby Jones) is a sound-effects expert who explores the world of noise and sound in a dark and terrifying sound studio in Italy. His job is to produce and record the foleys needed to complete a terror film called The Equestrian Vortex.
Although this is a fictional film, it shows one of the least known facets of the movie industry: sound design.
Watch one of the official trailers of this sound-terrifying movie.
The film was released on August 31, 2012. Since its release, it has been reviewed with 3 out of 5 stars (by IMDb). Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian has described the film as "seriously weird and seriously good and said that it marks Strickland's emergence as "a key British film-maker of his generation".
