From the outset of the film, we could only be seized by the profoundly of all silver, reflecting a superb dynamic video, while maintaining a high degree of definition, natural. Very comfortable, the master seized by the accuracy of its color temperature: the earthy tones and warm, the film literally swim in a lake of sweetness and heat. The Primary colors are showing more developed, although the visual moods were filtered and calibrated in post-production to maintain a seal seventies, which runs beautifully on screen. Overall, this is a terribly pressing film, which never fails to deliver a focused plans bold, inventive, creative, putting clothing in the scene innumerable changes focal length and framing of often incredible filmmaker found that, within a few shots, its visual inspiration and plastic dynamic at work on Heavenly Creatures.

Difficult, very difficult it is to maintain a sense of action to evoke this mix of light, strongly evocative, and beautifully harmonious. First favorite part of writing for this year 2010, the soundtrack of the film Jackson is thus required as a reference on all terrains. Starting with the impacting and untied record conversations, which literally pierce the frontal arc, providing a stage realism and dramatic power far from what is usually heard. Voice offs and dialogues show a dynamic presence, height and a sense of precision that leave the floor. It will be the same for the entire frontal zone: army dynamics astounding realism of an ad hoc and a width wondrous scenic, difficult to blame him anything. The codec DTS-HD Master Audio is doing here in Wonderland, giving the film an extra reinforcement and acoustic realism to such an extent that it is almost possible to feel the weight of sound. Solid, detailed, lavishly spatialized, the soundstage opens permanently assisted in this by an appeal back to the scene verging on the anthology absolute without exaggeration, the rear speakers come alive and taken at the first dyanmique terrifying moments via a scalpel sharp precision and immediacy of stunning clarity. The recovery authority is optimal, and the mobility of sounds in space. Rarely, for some time, we witnessed such a spectacle sound: accuracy of all makes of clothing to stage the most lyrical moments, as well as more scenes with dialogue, which all have the same clarity, transparency of the inevitable that carries meaning.

On the ground creative, mixing and editing give vent to impulses that accumulate noise and acoustic atmospheres petrifying, immersive and velvety, and impact effects, boosting the report and providing for its volcanic activity sound, if not magmatic. There are few scenes that do not enjoy the same quality of spatialization. The sound reinforcement spoke scene brought back to show both bright and evanescent, distilling here and there a myriad of effects in the form of ghostly presences as diverse and varied, concrete or abstract voluntarily. It follows a string of sounds sometimes aggressive, sometimes a memorable subtlety, which haunt and inhabit the entire speaker, without any spectral attenuation. The dynamics knows how to be overpowering and obvious. This whole soundtrack reached a level of balance and clarity such that it is impossible not to award him a "Diapason d'Or. A technical prowess and aesthetic, which combines know-how and finesse of rendering, requirement and creative thinking.

Many pieces of bravery, difficult to evoke with simple terms. The sequence of incredible murder subterranean maelstrom of sound quasi-visual (audio visiogènes), the countless visions of the afterlife, or rather two, which give free rein to a surge of decibels and coverage of the richly textured soundscape and a colossal scale, or even the silence deafening near the end of the plot, which corresponds to the arrival in the last act. Massive and detailed physical and sensory, the soundtrack to prompt visions sound, and landed in perfect symbiosis sharp and vivid images of the filmmaker. The link between images and sounds it shows best. The accuracy of the report, coupled with the acoustic immediacy of each event on the screen creates that rare feeling of attending a performance of effervescent and rigorous time, which transports without deafening, and carries with delight. Truly diegetic or narratological, the soundtrack of the film is a total redevelopment of the dramatic potential of this exceptional film, a testament to the legendary creativity of Peter Jackson, here in top form. Form and content, precisely, coexist in terms of space-time images, which describe horizontal trajectories, while the acoustic world as a whole the students together on a vertical axis, to heights of subtlety and presence that can the biggest differences. Fully mixed and edited in New Zealand, as was the case in the trilogy of Lord of the Rings, the soundtrack was supervised by Jackson in person.

In striking realism of the scene behind, and its spectral activity and noise is added a sub-channel of a serious design exceptional downhill staggering, staggering depth and dynamic licked, the register write in full benefits from the same creative effort, the same rigorous terms, about the same spatial sharpness of that immediacy, and the same methodological principles that transform technical data into objects of beauty. Do not hesitate to raise the overall volume for even more advantage of these acoustic arabesques, and in order to better highlight the topping sound, this scene sound so fresh and clean, this imédiateté realistic and unreal at the same time. What about the sweet music of Brian Eno and indescribable? With his quiet but powerful hints symphony lyric another production that received great care sound chip (The Jacket), on which Eno has composed the score, the soundtrack of The Lovely Bones this groundwater musical invade the sound space, in keeping with the images.

By combining the concrete and the abstract in the same movement cinégénique, the sound work done on the film won the support of most total viewers, leaving collect and then clearly "see" what the characters feel, the sound level. Each place, real or unreal, has its own sound coverage of its own realism thrown in the heart of 5.1. An immersion invigorating, relevant quasi-bitter, a sound activity and spatial learning (incredible environments are distilled here and there) ... A space filling sound track razor, coupled with a feat of accuracy and clarity of expression magnified, illuminated and re-staged by the uncompressed digital sound, here fully at work in his art of nuance in its preservation of each micro-breathing, every corner sound. Conservatively, it is a monument acoustic, which consists, undoubtedly, one of the best views sound he has been living for many months ...

All the power of digital sound ... all the clarity and perfection of the crystal. Is it necessary to say that listening in VO totally necessary?
