My ★★★½ review of Empire of Light on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/52iV31
I’ve never seen such a disparity of quality between a film’s script and its production. Sam Mendes’ screenplay delivers multiple moments of toe-curling cringe in its superficial and heavy-handed portrayal of Very Important Topics like The Mental Health and The Racism. Meanwhile master craftsmen like lead actor Olivia Colman, cinematographer Roger Deakins, and composers Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross use all their skills to miraculously make Empire Of Light not only watchable but actually quite moving. For fans of ‘Cinema Paradiso’
[A WEIRD TANGENT: I like to think that this takes place in the same universe as Berberian Sound Studio but ten years later after Toby Jones' Gilderoy got his head straight and retrained as a projectionist. Fun fact, when BSS was adapted for a stage production in 2019 Gilderoy was played by Tom Brooke (Neil). Empire Of Light is very much the Spiderman: No Way Home of the Berberian Sound Studio franchise.]

Chris: Written and directed by Peter Strickland, an early effort in his career, mostly an atmospheric suspense film, not much substance, held together by screams, but worth watching for others like me who are Strickland fans, Watch: On Subscription Service.
Richie: Things should have been taken a lot further, it was a half baked idea, I should have liked it, but I didn’t, not necessary viewing, Watch: When Free I guess.

Berberian Sound Studio (2012)
I used to be a sound designer for live theater. Some who have been reading my blog since its inception might know that. When I studied theater production and design in college for my major, it was something that not a lot of people were interested in. I immediately took to it and eventually spent a lot of time in the booth on little projects of my own or helping with shows. It eventually became…

#HARPERSMOVIECOLLECTION
2023
I watched Berberian Sound Studio (2012)
A horror film that deals with something we often overlook in film, the sound.
A British sound engineer is hired to work on an Italian horror film.
Tobey Jones is a damn good actor, and what interested me the most in this film was that he plays the lead. What also peaked my interest was that this film plays off the classic Italian Giallo horror films of the 1970's.
Director Peter Strickland clearly cares about film and has a love for these old Giallo films and filmmaking in general. He's directed a very good looking film here with a lot going for it.
This film is all about sound. Early on in the movie Tobey Jones' character, who is an Englishman on the job in italy, plays recordings he made of his home. It helps him feel less homesick. He spendd the rest of his time creating sound for a horror film, which we never see but we hear the recordings for. We hear the spooky spoken lines, the eerie music, the splatter, etc... Just like the effect the tapes from home have to calm him, the things he is hearing when making the film have an effect as well.
He's also dealing with the pressure of being in a new place with strangers and feeling unwelcome and taken advantage of. It's a very awkward and uncomfortable film. That discomfort builds the tension which is only irked by the intense sounds and the haunting sounds. Like any good horror film, this keeps you on edge and feeling anxious for what may come.
Strickland's visual direction is beautiful. It's all his style along with these beautiful touches of Giallo style. The pull outs and close-ups jump off screen. He does a great job of turning a film about the making of a Giallo horror into a Giallo inspired slow burn psychological horror, using sound and visual language.
Most people will be turned off by this film. There are no murders or monsters or really anything. Some actresses in the faux Italian film are mistreated by the director and there's some minor shady business going on, but nothing of true "horror". The film also doesn't have a clear conclusion. The best I can make out is that our lead character is completely distorted and warped by being a part of the filmmaking process. He's never able to successfully stand up to his abusers or to help any of the mistreated women. Eventually he just becomes part of the thing he hates in almost every sense.
Personally I liked this a lot. It's very well made and does what it sets out to do, which is to make us think differently about sound and media, and to effect us through sound. It's further messages are there to be dug into as well, which never hurts. If I recommend this to anyone there is a chance they'll hate it, so I'll just say that I quite enjoyed it.

good news they made a whole movie about how italians loved to make terrifying industrial music under the pretense of scoring gialli films in the 70s. it is called berberian sound studio 👍 btw sorry if you watch it and its bad i havent seen it in years and years 😙
never seen that it sounds cool! the only video media i can usually consume relates to music so this seems doable

FINNIE! I remember you mentioning before that you were interested in horror, and I think you're British, so was wondering if you had any good recommendations for strong British horror films :)
hello anon (through gritted teeth i am accepting the term british much like when a form doesn't include nationality breakdowns and i have to choose it lmao) i do indeed LOVE horror (i'm not going to recommend like the classics like dracula or quatermass and the pit, absolute necessities like hellraiser, or modern classics like shaun of the dead or 28 days later because you know them)
top of my list: ghost stories. i cannot stand martin freeman and yet i have suffered through this movie multiple times regardless. andy nyman and jeremy dyson are two of my favourite people in this whole world. jeremy dyson has a cameo playing the dj at andy nyman's bat mitzvah in the beginning of the film and it made me SQUEAL in the cinema lol
you want creature feature: dog soldiers or the ritual
need something existential or psychological: berberian sound studio, the horrifying men and stick in some threads
a sci-fi flavour: attack the block
if you want something outright fuckin ridiculous and an example of where we were with horror-comedy in the early 00s: severance or the cottage
