Really looking forward to this one!

Screen Daily: Berberian Sound Studio

Me too. Keith's thoughts on the film at Giallo Fever the other day really piqued my interest.

[Inspector Tanzi]

I watched this tonight and really enjoyed it.

Gilderoy is a sound engineer who leaves England to do a sound job on a film in Italy. It turns out to be a bit too intense for the timid mild mannered Gilderoy and you gradually see him psychologically change.

The opening credits (of the film they are working on) is fantastic, with a Morricone/Nicolai style soundtrack.

It's not really a horror but I couldn't think of a better section to put it in.

[Longsden]

It could have been brilliant but it falls apart spectacularly in the third act. Saying that I do want to give it a re watch

I'm waiting for my copy of the BD to arrive, since the film didn't play in any cinema here.
It's one of those rare occasions where a film has caught my eye as soon as I found out about it a few months ago, and I'm really looking forward to watch it.

I'd agree with that. I'm looking forward to watching it again too, although I do wonder how the sound is going to hold up watching it at home. It sounded amazing in the cinema.

I really want to see this movie, but as far as I know a DVD release hasn't even been announced in the States yet.

[Petri]

I was very interested in this film but missed it in a film festival but I'm planning to see it as soon as possible. It's nice to hear it receiving good feedback. The premise for this film seems very good.

[Soukesian]

Probably the best thing I saw in the cinema all year. I can see why people have issues with it, but it's pretty unique.

The excellent Broadcast soundtrack has been released last week I believe http://www.normanrecords.com/records/137368-broadcast---berberian-sound


The film itself has given me a new sort of admiration for salad.

[Kevin Coed]

I thought the first hour was great. The last half hour was meh.


Not that anyone gives a toss what I think.

I really like the film as a whole, I liked where it went at the end but I think the set up led you to think it would go somewhere else.

[Kevin Coed]

I wanted to like it, I really did.... but I felt it all went tits up.

[Longsden]

That's the film in a nutshell. I came out trying to defend it "well this was good, that was nice" but I just gave up. Soundtrack was incredible, definite buy

Finally saw this last night via Netflix UK and I'm in the all fell apart at the end category. I just felt that the first hour or so came off as more of a red herring than a build up to a psychological collapse as it really feels like a whole other story is developing rather than focusing enough on Gilderoy's mental state throughout. He just seems still too much like a disenchanted observer for most of it than it actually getting to him.
