Not even he knows for sure!

Our review:
The Editor is an accomplished satire of Italian giallo movies, filled with gratuitous nudity, extravagant murders and sloppy dubbing. It’s a piss take, but lovingly done – let’s be honest, you need to be a fan of the sub-genre even to know what they are referencing in the film. Essentially, The Editor is the film that the tedious Berberian Sound Studio should have been.
