Learning Beyond the Classics
Directed by Peter Strickland
With Toby Jones, Antonio Mancino, Fatma Mohamed
Rated R, 94 minutes, Blu-ray
In English and Italian with English subtitles
Known as a master of homage and genre, director Peter Strickland has focused on Jess Franco with his The Duke of Burgundy and James Bidgood with his Black Narcissus. What seems to be Strickland's fastball, though, is channeling his love for and appropriating Italian giallo films. As he would later do in In Fabric, which is essentially Suspiria set at a Macy's, Strickland quotes giallos while adding his own notes of camp and extremes. Here, an English foley artist (Toby Jones) is brought to Rome to complete the sound for an Italian horror film in 1970s Rome. Completing the jobs, however, may cost him both his sanity and his life.
Free for ND, SMC, HC, and IUSB Students.
