Perfect Sense(2011)
Susan, an epidemiologist, reemerges from an affair gone sour and encounters a peculiar patient -- a truck driver who experienced a sudden, uncontrollable crying fit. Now he is calm, but he has lost his sense of smell. Susan soon learns there are hundreds of people across the globe beginning to suffer strange symptoms, affecting the emotions, then the senses.

Shot with Sony's CineAlta F35 high definition camera, the image has occasional trouble with low-light conditions, where noise spikes considerably, but brighter outdoor scenes have a satisfyingly filmic quality. Clarity varies similarly, with exterior shots revealing lots of fine detail in clothing and facial features, while interiors tend to look softer and muddier, though never distractingly so. The color palette switches depending on the mood too—some scenes have a warm, "happy" cast while others are bathed in blue—but either way, saturation is strong and contrast generally balanced. (Although you will notice some crushed blacks and blown-out highlights from time to time.) Most of the stock "disaster" footage is in standard definition, and there are a few shots that appear to have been filmed with a DSLR, as they exhibit a rolling shutter effect—where image appears to wobble—that's actually used intentionally. Besides some brief aliasing, I didn't spot any real encode issues, although it'd honestly be hard to see compression artifacts within the heavy source noise. There's no obvious banding or macroblocking, anyway, and no sign of edge enhancement or DNR. This is probably an accurate representation of the film, even if there are a few picture quality quirks. Perfect Sense Blu-ray, Audio QualityMore undeniably impressive is the film's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, which features some surprisingly detailed and considered sound design. It starts by working environmental ambience into nearly every scene, using the entire soundscape. Seagulls squawking off in the distance. The busy clamor of a restaurant's kitchen. Rain pouring in the rear channels. Car horns blaring. Later in the film, when Susan and Michael are on the cusp of losing their hearing, the sensitivity of their ears temporarily spikes and there's a great moment when they can hear everything—church bells tolling, birds chirping, and myriad city sounds, all overlapping and mixing together. The film's soundtrack is syrupy and sometimes too forceful in trying to dictate how we feel about a certain scene, but it at least sounds wonderful, with textured violins, defined low-end, and clean highs. If I have one complaint—a minor one—it's that the dialogue can occasionally sound a hair low in the mix. Never to the extent that it's hard to understand what's being said, though. An uncompressed Linear PCM 2.0 stereo track is also included, and the disc features optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles, which appear in bright yellow lettering.
