WORK - Wild Presumption
Kya, an abandoned little girl, grew up alone in the dangerous swamps of North Carolina. Nicknamed the « Daughter of the Marais » by the community of Barkley Cove, she becomes suspicious when a young man from the city is found dead near her home.
With the leading thread of abandonment and loneliness, this elegiac adaptation of the best seller of Delia Owens delivers a delicate learning tale outside but strong inside (like her heroine beautifully interpreted by Daisy Edgar-Jones), where the romance a little overyear flirts with suspense in America of the 60s resisting to the difference and in the grip of the toxic masculinity. Naturalist and intimate, this beautiful portrait of a resilient woman is also an ode to preserved nature. Blocked in its shell, the bird must spread its wings...
« I never hated anyone, they hated me, they harassed me. You want me to beg them to leave me alive? I don't want them to decide for me. »
IMAGE - The untamed beauty of the marshes
If this is a small rise of video noise in places, here is a beautiful 1080p presentation from a 4.5K digital capture whose wild nature, preserved, is supported by the magnificent photography of Polly Morgan (No noise 2, The Woman King).
Luminous and well-defined, the image displays a delicate texture (a light grain added in post-prod) without reducing the accuracy of the piqué, revealing the smallest details of the wide frame (faces, costumes and decors). The depth of field draws the background with rigour.
Carefully calibrated and very nicely contrasted, it unfolds colours with exemplary saturation (sunrises/sunset, vegetation, textile dyes), a life-filled carnation, dense blacks (even if the darkness is rare) and bright whites.
SOUND - In the sigh of the waves
Subtle and realistic, this soundtrack delivered in DTS-HD MA 5.1 (in both VO and VF) ensures the clarity of its dialogues (up to the audience room with a more true resonance than nature) and proves obsessive in the ultra-exhaustive transcription of its marshy environment.
Mixing is perfectly balanced, the distribution of it draws admirably well (song of insects, undulating waters and the rustling of leaves naturally fill the acoustic space) and the fascinating music composed by Mychael Danna is faithfully reproduced.
Although well incorporated in the original mixing, the dubbing of the VF is tragically monotonous and deprived of life. This is a great pity as this track plays an equal role with its English-speaking friend in its immersive power.
CONCLUSION - Little Marsh Princess
In the microcosm of the marsh, far from the darkness of a society scratching it, a diamond to fight every day for its survival continues to shine... This bucolic drama about personal emancipation, filled with mysteries, finds the courage to follow its own Blu-ray path through A/V performances full of poetry, sensitivity, delicacy and modesty.
