SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its film-censorship setting turns analogue horror imagery into a subjective, increasingly unstable experience, with a tactile period texture and a similarly disorienting boundary between work and nightmare.
02
Why this pick
Another intensely inward portrait of a sound professional: meticulous listening, repeated audio fragments and technical process become the engine of mounting paranoia.
03
Why this pick
Its suspense is built through the physical labour of recording, replaying and interpreting sound, combining cinematic craftsmanship with a tense, obsessive protagonist.
04
Why this pick
A ravishingly artificial giallo dreamscape whose heightened sound, fragmented perception and baroque visual design echo Berberian Sound Studio’s sensory, genre-haunted unease.
05
Why this pick
This near-dialogue-free giallo reverie uses amplified sounds, fetishistic close-ups and fractured memory to create an oppressive, tactile atmosphere rather than conventional scares.

01 / THE STORY
British sound engineer Gilderoy (Toby Jones) arrives at the Berberian film studio in Italy to work on what he believes is a film about horses. During a surreal meeting with Francesco, the film's producer, Gilderoy is shocked to find the film is actually an Italian giallo film, ''The Equestrian Vortex''. He nonetheless begins work in the studio, at one point made to do Foley (filmmaking), using vegetables to create sound effects for the film's increasingly gory torture sequences, and mixing voiceovers from session artists, Silvia and Claudia, into the score.
