Today, Mondo is teaming up with Black Dragon Press and artist Edward Kinsella to release this new movie poster for writer/director Peter Strickland’s loving homage to Italian horror, Berberian Sound Studio. As Mondo explained, “2012’s Berberian Sound Studio is a bizarre, atmospheric thriller that digs deep beneath the skin to probe giallo’s bloody beating heart. The titular sound studio provides Strickland with both a means of paying homage to the esoteric details of giallo – particularly the genre’s unique approach to sound design – and a context for lead actor Toby Jones’ audio technician Gilderoy’s collapse into madness.”
“Whilst we were finalising the pertinent permissions, the piece has been doing the rounds in the illustration awards circuit with enormous success earning Kinsella an award of excellence at the Communication Arts illustration annual and a Gold Medal by the Society of Illustrations, among the highest accolades available for working illustrators. It has been a long wait but we're very excited to finally make it available to collectors worldwide.” – James Park at Black Dragon Press
Berberian Sound Studio by Edward Kinsella is an 18”x24” hand numbered screen print. Limited to just 100 pieces, this movie poster will go on sale at 11am CDT on Tuesday, June 16th, at The Drop on MondoShop.com and BlackDragonPress.co.uk for $55.
