The “rivetingly inventive” (The Independent) Berberian Sound Studio has been nominated for 7 British Independent Film Awards. Honouring only the finest independent films released in Britain this year, The Moet British Independent Film Awards have nominated Peter Strickland’s atmospheric sophomore horror for Best British Independent Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Achievement In Production and twice in the Best Technical Achievement category.
Having already been hailed numerously as “One of the films of the year” (Phillip French, The Observer), and with Peter Strickland being regarded as “A key British film-maker of his generation” (Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian) and Toby Jones as “One of the cinema’s finest character actors at work today” (Phillip French, The Observer), these coveted award nominations are set to secure Berberian Sound Studio‘s leading position as one of the most celebrated British horror films in years.
Berberian Sound Studio arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on 31st December through Artificial Eye.
The soundtrack to Berberian Sound Studio, composed by renowned Warp-signed band Broadcast is released a week later, on Jan 7th 2013.
Initially conceived as the soundtrack to The Equestrian Vortex, the film-within-a-film around which Berberian Sound Studio unfolds, it would eventually spill outwards to encapsulate the entire world Strickland had created and populated with eccentric, magnetic characters. On it’s own, the music sets a sinister and atmospheric tone that still exists well within Broadcast’s sonic universe.
