WORK - Men and animals
In a world plagued by a wave of mutations that gradually transformed certain humans into animals, François did everything to save his wife, who was affected by this mysterious phenomenon. While the region is populated by creatures of a new kind, it embarks Emile, their 16-year-old son, on a quest that will forever upset their existence.
Nine years laterCombatants, the filmmakerThomas Cailleysigns an ambitious hybrid fable (at the crossroads of fantasy, social drama and comedy) on exclusion and filiation, where the magnetic charism ofRomain Durisand the youngPaul Kirchern Poetic, poignant and well rooted in his time, this singular work in the French cinema landscape touches the heart.
« What comes into the world to trouble nothing deserves neither consideration nor patience. »
IMAGE - The forest call
Luminous and full of details at the four corners of the wide frame, the photograph signedDavid Cailleyis beautifully restored by this UHD Dolby Vision transfer that a solid Hevc codec consolidates.
Facing the Blu-ray, the diurnal scenes and the various lights gain in brilliance (the garlands of the ginguette, the light of the day, the gyrophars of priority vehicles), the darkness becomes more legible (the blacks are no longer bluish), the level of detail 35 mm is even more bluffing (progressive transformations such as the natural decorations are not lacking in biting) with an ever more palpable relief, the colours with controlled coldness and the shimmering primaries benefit from beautiful additional shades (cf. the forest hues) and the compression, now undetectable (in the smoke of the smokes included), contributes to a better breath of delicate silver emulsion.
SOUND - Small and big bugs 🎶
Benefiting from a multi-channel activity where each enclosure is used with a natural disarming, this mix delivered in DTS-HD MA 5.1 that thickens throughout the film (to hear the awakening of nature), immerses the viewer in realistic atmospheric atmospheres at the possible (the flora) interspersed with striking animal effects of proximity.
The acoustic richness of the disconcerted ensemble, the noises are swinged at the four corners of the listening space with as much subtleness as power, the dynamics show the fangs as soon as the action comes, the LFE channel grunts hard if necessary, the audacious music ofAndrea Laszlo De Simone(soft and candid before being rhythmized by tribal percussions) envelopes and dialogues (where each man-animal with his own voice) are firmly exuded by the power plant.
CONCLUSION - Survival instinct
While he brings in the « monsters » (an extraordinary bestiary) to question all forms of discrimination that kill a large part of French society, thisGourmet genre cinemametamorphosis on 4K Ultra HD support (video flatters retina and audio perfectly harmonizes with nature)!
