WORK – No, but say, is it good or not?

A young man has the rare gift of recognizing every sound he hears. On board a French nuclear submarine, everything rests on him, the Golden Ear. Famous infallible, he made a mistake that put the crew at risk of death. He wants to regain the confidence of his comrades, but his quest leads them into an even more dramatic situation. In the world of nuclear deterrence and disinformation, they all find themselves trapped in an uncontrollable gear.

Ultra-credible and endowed with a haunting suspense, this ambitious geopolitical thriller superbly staged, frankly well-tangled and deeply humane offers a casting of choice and wonders about the principle of nuclear deterrence. A real background blade in the French film landscape.

IMAGE – Everyone's beautiful, are you sure?

With the exception of slightly light blacks sometimes, this HDR10 UHD transfer is arduously stable.

With a sharpness of all the moments and a realistic colorimetric palette, these anxiogenic images from a DI 4K are of good density. Already more resolute and detailed than in HD (face features, clothing fibers, decor elements), they are mainly decorated with more electric colours (see red and blue shades), more harmonious contrasts (the scenes contained undoubtedly benefit from them) and more striking light sources (the sun's reflections on water, flames/explosions and artificial lights on board submarines).

SON – He who has ears to hear, hear!

Mixed with the Skywalker Ranch with a malady care of detail, the Dolby Atmos track looks like an implacable precision to make us feel like never before on board a submarine (two in fact) and get us into the head of the Golden Ear.

Where each sound can be synonymous with the danger of death, it swings moultes acoustic information (the pressure of water on the hull, the rumbling of naval equipment, the frequency of sonars, command orders in the speakers, the song of dolphins, the displacement of torpedoes, the blast of explosions) in all the corners of the listening room (the height scene is a full member of the crew) while being discreet to blend into the seabed.

Charged in murderous infra-graves and equipped with always clear dialogues, this blending of anthology ends us to finish.

CONCLUSION – Every good thing has an end...

To dive deep water next to this large underwater thriller, equip yourself with the right equipment with the Ultra HD Blu-ray!

The Song of the Wolf

Nyctalope like Riddick and with a very good hearing, I am ready to jump on physical editions and SVOD platforms. But if the quality isn't on the rendezvous, stop at the bite! #WeLovePhysicalMedia
