Sound of Metal
Music was his world. Then silence revealed a new one.
Overview
Metal drummer Ruben begins to lose his hearing. When a doctor tells him his condition will worsen, he thinks his career and life is over.

'Sound of Metal' is a unique cinematic experience that has consumed my every thought in the days since my viewing, and should be on the radars of anyone wanting to catch one of the best films this year.

Director Darius Marder's sound design isn't merely technical brilliance. It becomes emotional architecture that collapses the distance between viewer and subject. We don't just watch Ruben lose his hearing; we experience the muffled confusion, the sudden silences, the distor…
