For those who are fans of Broadcast. A film coming out in August will have a musical score by Broadcast. James has been working on it, and it may include some recordings that Trish worked on. I do not know if any of her vocals will be on it. The soundtrack will have a release on Warp.
It looks like a scary movie. This is from April:
"A hauntological horror Berberian Sound Studio stars award-winning actor Toby Jones (Infamous, Frost/Nixon, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets) in the lead role. An Illuminations Films and Warp X production, the film will be produced by Keith Griffiths (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Little Otik, Institute Benjamenta) and Mary Burke (Submarine, Bunny and The Bull). Nic Knowland BSC (Barbarians at the Gate) is the cinematographer and editor is Academy Award winner Chris Dickens (Slumdog Millionaire). Broadcast will score the music for the film.
Berberian Sound Studio is one of the cheapest, sleaziest post-production studios in Italy. Only the most sordid horror films have their sound processed and sharpened in this studio. Gilderoy (Toby Jones), a shy and nondescript sound engineer from the UK is hired to mix the latest giallo film by horror maestro, Santini (Antonio Mancino) and he soon finds himself caught up in a forbidding world of bitter actors, capricious foley artists and confounding bureaucracy. The longer Gilderoy spends mixing screams and the bloodcurdling sounds of hacked vegetables, the more homesick he becomes for his garden shed studio in Dorking. His mother’s letters alternate between banal gossip and an ominous hysteria, which gradually mirrors the black magic of Santini’s film that Gilderoy is responsible for orchestrating. As both time and realities shift, Gilderoy finds himself lost in an otherworldly spiral of sonic and personal mayhem.
Reading-born writer/director Peter Strickland’s first feature film Katalin Varga was short entirely independently in 2006 and later went on to win many awards including a Silver Bear in Berlin and The European Film Academy’s Discovery of the Year award in 2009. Katalin Varga screened at festivals throughout the world and was sold in many territories. Prior to Katalin Varga, Strickland made a number of short films and produced several records of abstract music, field recordings and spoken word."
"Strickland said he would describe the film as being structured more like a piece of music than that of a conventional film. He also talked about his love of old Italian exploitation cinema and the Italian avant garde and said the film was largely a tribute to Luciano Berio and Cathy Beberian and the studio in which they worked. He was particularly intrigued by the fact that Berio, Berberian as well as many other leading lights of the Italian avant garde were earning a crust on the side producing music and sound design for some pretty dodgy Italian giallo movies."
At the video store I saw an Italian film with a similar premise to this except it was about a film studio and featured tigers attacking the "actresses". I forgot the title but I'm taking some films back I almost rented it but it looked but decided not, too. I'll get the title when I return my movies.
oops, what I tried to write or type that I decided not to rent the movie because I don't know it looked kooky and kinky yet glamorous and Italian (80's Fellini) with lots of vibrant red.
