Work - It's gonna hit
Boy is a deaf-muet with an overflowing imagination. When his family is murdered, he escapes into the jungle and is trained by a mysterious shaman to suppress his childish imagination and instead become an instrument of death.
Product by Sam Raimi (triologies Evil Dead and Spider-Man) and interpreted by Bill Skarsgård (Flu-Sou This) particularly expressive, this reverence is driven by uncomplex violence and staggered humour where a whole section of the action cinema is summoned (Kill Bill, The Raid, Hunger Games, Kingsman, John Wick), is a declaration of love to video art of the 1980s and 1990s (Street Fighter, Streets of Rage) as the Scott Pilgrim Before him.
And even if it's a pain in the ass, with its assumed absurdity and its ruptures in incessant tones, this crazy action with furious batons (the cheese grater in the kitchen), with charismatic protagonists and well-feeling punchlines, is such a generosity in its ideas and performance (an artistic direction and choreographies worthy of the best combat games) that the show, which is constantly renewed, can only be a cure of vitamins for its target audience.
« This time we're going to make it. From now on we make our own rules. Nobody tells us what to do. I'm going to take us far away from this totalitarian hellhole. »
Full face!
Strongly stylized, this very attractive digital capture finalized in 4K is delivered to us in a UHD transfer unfortunately deprived of an HDR calibration. Against the excellent Blu-ray, the differences are therefore only marginal despite impressive images.
The increased resolution allows the background to gain stability and the fine details, exceptional during the countless close-ups (face characteristics, injuries), show a better sharpness (this is noticeable when the camera shakes) by an otherwise more effective encoding (an average bitrate of 79.4 Mbps).
Similar to its HD counterpart since not provided with the WCG, the colorimetric palette is no less explosive with its primaries straight out of an acidic comic strip (see yellow and red). No drift to be reported on the side of the (beautiful) coloration of the flesh.
As for the contrasts, which have been refused the increase of the dynamic range, they cannot perfect the darkness and light of the signed photograph Peter Matjasko. Nevertheless, the shadows are very detailed (the rainy night in the jungle) and the high luminances very bright (the lighting of the TV set).
SON - Fatality
Bruying and wildly immersive, this Dolby Atmos soundtrack (24-bit, 4147 kbps) which has stopped engaging all channels furiously is absolutely fabulous.
The spatialization is delusional, the rears as well as the heights attract attention, Boy's narrated voice rises up as it should above the action, the agitated effects (gunshots and other body to body) are firmly supported by a striking LFE channel, the music tones of Ludvig Forssell (Beautiful) send sauce and dialogues are of great clarity.
CONCLUSION - Get ready for the next battle
First feature film of the promising Moritz Mohr, this completely struck rollercoaster that runs one hundred an hour on the bloody road of a retrogaming cult, gets a power-up on 4K Ultra HD support (a/V performances of a high level). However, its SDR armament is somewhat obstructing its progress. Fight!!
