Great Atmosphere but Unsure About Plot Intent
5 June 2023
I watched this a few years ago and thought it was a decent film with good atmosphere. I started to re-watch this film and began to wonder if director Peter Strickland is racist towards Italian people or if he is saying that people who make horror movies are bad people. I do not really approve of either message at all.

With this in mind, the film became less enjoyable to me wondering what a non-Italian director could possibly have in mind about a white English man being victimized in Italy by a group of giallo film people.

I do love all the scenes of how the vocals and special effects are made, if you don't think too deeply about the implications of the plot itself Berberian Sound Studio is a spooky, interesting watch.
