Anyone seen this? I saw Peter Strickland's last feature "Berberian Sound Studio". It's an interesting film - his "Berberian Sound Studio" - a bit offbeat. It's a bit "out there" as a film. Has anyone seen this?

It was a beautiful looking and sounding movie. Certain shots were just amazing to watch. I felt it was an incredibly honest and genuine exploration of the sexual and non sexual dynamic between two people who were in a relationship. Yes there was a BDSM element but it wasn't overplayed or obsessed over like another film that shall not be named. It was as if I was present in the room watching two people going about their relationship. It felt very mature. I spent a lot of the movie trying to work out the dynamic between the couple.. which wasn't easy at times. And in the end it just felt refreshingly real. Just two people trying their best to make what they had work.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a beautiful movie about a relationship. Yes theres a bit of kinky stuff in there but it's not the main focus on the movie. It's much deeper than that.
