Synopsis
Mild-mannered sound engineer Gilderoy (Toby Jones, The Hunger Games, Captain America) arrives in Rome to begin work on the soundtrack to a film called The Equestrian Vortex, a tale of witchcraft and murder set inside an all-girl riding academy. Before long he finds himself entranced by the film's mysteriously terrifying allure, and the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur. Now Gilderoy's own mind has become the battleground between his horrifying delusions and his desperate grasp on the real world. Tense, claustrophobic, and featuring a tour-de-force performance by Jones, Berberian Sound Studio is an electrifying portrayal of a man's descent into the darkest pit of madness and featuring a tour de force performance by Jones, Berberian Sound Studio is "a strange and beautiful homage to seventies horror films. See it if you dare." (Blige Ebiri, New York Magazine).
