Berberian Sound Studio (2012) Peter Strickland
The second time I've watched this, and I will watch it again. It is a great film about the genre I love so much. The idea behind this film is very original, and that, and the way it is executed, makes it good film. Toby Jones plays an unforgettable character. He will stick with you for a long time.
Strickland mentions Herz's The Cremator as one of the main influences for this film. To be honest, I don't really see this influence in Berberian Sound Studio. The Cremator is a masterpiece still after 40 years or so. But Berberian is a great film nonetheless.
