Sound and Fury Blu-ray delivers truly amazing video and audio in this excellent Blu-ray release
This drama depicts the misery of neglected children in big cities. 13 years old Bruno is of a good family, but since the death of his grandmother he spends most of his time alone, in a phantasy world, while his mother is away at work. But then he befriends the violent Jean-Roger...

The kids aren't alright in "Sound and Fury," a 1988 feature written and directed by Jean-Claude Brisseau. He takes viewers to a small area of France,
studying the dual experiences of Bruno (Vincent Gasperitsch), a young teen new to the area, and Jean-Roger (Francois Negret), a seasoned juvenile
delinquent who becomes his friend. Incredible behavioral darkness ensues, as Brisseau looks into the ways of adult influence and responsibility,
embracing the chaos that comes when young men are empowered to be a destructive as possible, losing their precious innocence in the process.
"Sound and Fury" is spare, as Brisseau tries to strip filmmaking comforts from the production, making a picture about raw behavior, keeping close to
Bruno as he takes in Jean-Roger's malevolence. This includes acts of pyromania and animal torture, but the root of this illness is found with Jean-
Roger's father, who enjoys causing emotional wreckage, even living like a madman, transforming an apartment hallway into a gun range. Such a toxic
display fully melts his son's brain, and Bruno deals with his own parental neglect, finding some source of kindness in his teacher's patience, which
becomes another target for Jean-Roger's mental illness.
The AVC encoded image (1.37:1 aspect ratio) presentation preserves the stark atmosphere of "Sound and Fury," offering a cooler palette reflecting
seasonal changes and dire living situations. Colors are distinct throughout, with costuming providing some livelier hues, and interior decoration
showcasing offerings of art. Dreamscape events deliver softer washes of blue and white. Skintones are natural. Detail is sharp, surveying student
activity in the classroom and apartment life, with its various elements of destruction. Facial surfaces are textured. Delineation is satisfactory. Grain is
fine and film-like. Source is in excellent condition.
The 1.0 DTS-HD MA mix remains simple but effective, with crisp dialogue exchanges that secure emotional outbursts and quieter confessionals.
Atmospherics are evocative, capturing classroom activity and outdoor adventures, while roaring engines and gunshots are heavier. "Sound and Fury"
also goes without music, with stillness capably communicated.
"Sound and Fury" tracks the progress of these two teens as they manage help from outsiders and succumb to their misery, leading to a few shocking
acts of violence. Brisseau doesn't have a story to share with "Sound and Fury," but he has intermittently fascinating personalities to develop, as
curiosities darken and self-control weakens, or perhaps was never there to begin with. The unfolding horror of adolescent misery maintains attention to
a certain degree, like a Larry Clark or Harmony Korine picture, but every now and then the production will find a clear moment of conflict or personal
choice that holds the endeavor together, keeping it just far enough away from exploitation to make the viewing experience more than a crude
tour of self-destruction.
