Conductor

Imagine if you will a group of app designers creating a horror film, the end result wouldnt be unlike 'sound of violence', it must be said that the folk responsible for this movie are 'NOT' app designers, but they might as well be because their movie is as slick,.functional.and empty.as an app.

The idea of sound as a catalyst for evil isn't anything new, but at least recent offerings like 'berberian sound studio' and 'a.quiet place' used noise (or.a lack thereof in 'a qp's' case) to perfectly build tension and unease. ' sound of violence' despite its self descriptive title uses sound as an afterthought and the subtle use of it in the aforementioned movies is absent here as the movie just relies on heavy handed visual.shocks that you are more accustomed to seeing in the torture porn or slasher subgenres of horror movies, not the the art house horror this alludes to being. I Too arty and contrived for gorehounds and not challenging or idiosyncratic enough for your chin.stroking film buff, this movie is all froth and no coffee.

Giving this a 4 is being generous. All I can say is the premise of this film sounded interesting but the execution (pun intended) was completely ridiculous. I don't mind elaborate kills but these were preposterous. To top it all off the ending makes you just want to slap yourself for engaging in this nonsense to begin with. You have been warned.

The concept is unique, but also doesn't make much sense. The lead character becomes psychotic seemingly out of nowhere, and decides to murder people just to "see" sounds. Could have used a little more logic from this one.

In hindsight I reckon this could make an interesting double bill with Titane. Having said that, Titane is way better than this film. Though that does not mean that this movie is a bad one at all. It is just inferior in certain aspects. Not in casting the main role imho.

It's funny because I just saw her over the last few weeks in a tv show called for the people. Well in her characters mind she is doing what she is doing ... also for the people. Keeping them all in her memory ... or rather in her sound. I reckon what she goes through and what she can "hear" is not scientifically proven or right in any way shape or form - no pun intended.

There is a lot of violence here (Sound of Violence seems more fitting than Conductor, but you may feel different I reckon) and a lot of blood is being spilled. And there is the visual aspect of it all. Because it isn't just "sound", but also a visual treat - at least for the viewer.

Interesting main idea, unfortunately not as gripping or enticing as it could be. A very strange yet quite expected ending caps it all off.

I can't say this is a good film. There are good ideas here, the main actress does a good job and some violent/gory interesting scenes.

However, the plot (and the explanation for the occurrence btw) is not developed enough and that trio/romance story blaghh. It just didn't keep my interest.
