The very British Gilderoy is a sound engineer for films and he is asked to work on an Italian production so he travels to the sound studio from the title. The culture clash seems the red thread of this film. The film that is recorded sounds very bloody, but since, according to the director, it is no horror, I suppose it is a “giallo”. The equipment seems to place the film in that time too.
I got a DVD with only French subtitles and I did not know that the film is spoken in English, but mostly in Italian, so I guess I missed some things here and there. The film is quite minimalistic and some suspence is worked into the work of the characters. Towards the ends there is a completely over-the-top Lynchian scene which is very nice. The rest of the film is amusing.
