We’ve just heard that the Oscar-nominated Sound Of Metal is set to get a physical and digital home release in May through Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The film is now playing on Amazon Prime Video and will land on digital, DVD and Blu-ray from 31st May.
Written and directed by Darius Marder (Loot) and also starring Paul Raci (TV’s “Parks & Recreation”, “Baskets”), Lauren Ridloff (TV’s “The Walking Dead”) and Mathieu Amalric (TV’s “Wolf Hall”, The Grand Budapest Hotel), SOUND OF METAL follows Ruben (Riz Ahmed) and Lou (Olivia Cooke) nomadic musicians who together travel gig to gig on an endless American tour. Their music is loud, frenzied and passionate, until one day Ruben is overwhelmed by a severe ringing in his ears, which quickly gives way to deafness.
Ruben is suddenly overcome by anxiety, depression, and soon enough his past addictions begin to surface. Ruben checks himself into a home for deaf addicts run by an eccentric deaf veteran, Joe. In this world of silence and under Joe’s tough, observant care, Ruben must confront himself more honestly than ever before. But the love and sound of his old life echoes in Ruben’s mind, calling for him to return…
Truly one of the best films of the year – an across-the-board stand-out from its wonderful acting to its design and staging. Unmissible.
