Sound Of Metal DVD

 

 

Ruben (Riz Ahmed) and Lou (Olivia Cooke) live together, two nomads traveling gig to gig on an endless American tour. Their music is loud, frenzied and passionate, until one day Ruben is overwhelmed by a severe ringing in his ears, which quickly gives way to deafness. Ruben is suddenly overcome by anxiety, depression, and soon enough his past addictions begin to surface. Ruben checks himself into a home for deaf addicts run by an eccentric deaf veteran, Joe. In this world of silence and under Joe's tough, observant care, Ruben must confront himself more honestly than ever before. But the love and sound of his old life echoes in Ruben's mind, calling for him to return...

PRODUCT REVIEWS

Ruben (Riz Ahmed) is a drummer in a heavy metal band, and his partner, Lou (Olivia Cooke). The two live the dream life together as they play at many gigs with an album on the way. But for Ruben, things are about to take a dramatic turn as he discovers to have problems with his hearing. As Ruben discovers his issues with his hearing, he decides to take some tests. Ruben is told that he is starting to lose his hearing at a very rapid rate. He struggles to accept the news, determined to continue to play the drums for his band. After a breakdown and an argument with his partner, Ruben finally admits that he needs help regarding his hearing loss. He joins a local deaf community team that will help Ruben with his loss of hearing and help Ruben in many areas of his life, especially when it comes to taking steps forward and accepting. A major praise point for this film is the film's creative use of its audio track and sound design. At times we experience the same things that Ruben does, and I found this audio effect frightening and tense, even when Ruben first discovers the hearing problems. The film’s finale was also touching. Overall, this is a powerful film with a wonderful leading performance from actor Riz Ahmed. The film tackles a concept unlike anything I have seen before. It is a drama film that introduced themes that, after seeing the film, have stuck close to me. The sound design is superb and creative as we witness one man's journey towards hearing loss. More than this, he goes on a journey of personal discovery, acceptance, and peace. Sound of Metal is a film that has surprised me upon first viewing and comes highly recommended. *This review has been written for Sanity.
