| Berberian Sound Studio | comment |
Part-psychological thriller and part-homage to cult Italian horror and the forgotten lore of analogue sound production, Berberian Sound Studio tells the story of Gilderoy (Toby Jones), a mild-mannered English sound engineer who's contracted to work in Rome on the sound effects to an Italian horror film. However, he's more used to making gentle recordings of wildlife, and the relentlessly sexually violent soundtrack he's producing begins to have a profound effect on him. | |

Those Two Guys: Massimo and Massimo, two sound technicians who are incredibly adept at chopping up vegetables. One of the Massimo's bears more than a passing resemblance to Lucio Fulci | |

Minimalism: Two locations (the sound studio itself and Gilderoy's bedroom, which may well be in the same building), four main speaking parts and a tiny smattering of extras. | |

| Berberian Sound Studio / int_72d31973 | comment |
Surreal Horror: The movie itself, and possibly The Equestrian Vortex as well, which includes such locations as "the secret equestrian library" and "the poultry tunnel." Mostly it just comes across as a cross between Argento's Suspiria (1977) and Bava's Black Sunday. | |

Gainax Ending: After the Mind Screw sequence in which Gilderoy's voice is dubbed in Italian and the sonic torture which he puts a session artist through, another power cut happens. Then the projector turns on by itself and shows a blinding white light, in which Gilderoy seemingly vanishes into. | |

Sound FX Tropes | |
| Berberian Sound Studio / int_9bd3c989 | comment |
Sound FX Tropes: Berberian Sound Studio wears most of these tropes with pride. Much of the film is devoted to showing Gilderoy and company recreating complex sound effects with nothing but watermelons, radishes, food blenders and light bulbs. | |

Values Dissonance | |
| Berberian Sound Studio / int_9c6ba43a | comment |
Values Dissonance: In-universe, Gilderoy is shocked by the violent content of the film, whilst everyone else has a completely blasé attitude to it. To a lesser extent, Gilderoy is completely ineffectual at getting his expenses paid because he's far too polite. | |

Mind Screw: The last third of the film. Increasingly out of touch with reality, Gilderoy loses Lip Lock and becomes dubbed in Italian and eventually dissolves into the celluloid. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In-universe; Santini insists that the events of the The Equestrian Vortex really did happen and it's his duty to inform the world, no matter how much sex and violence he has to stuff into his film. Gilderoy isn't convinced. | |
