Berberian Sound Studio


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

Always liked Toby Jones. Here he plays a sound designer who is hired to work on an Italian giallo film ion the 70's. He doesn't understand the language (and neither do we, none of the foreign dialogue is subtitled) or the heated working environment.

It's a slow paced, very atmospheric film that becomes more abstracted as it goes on. And then it finishes. It does build a great uneasy, slightly tense mood but it never really goes anywhere much more interesting than that.
