On their
Blu-ray,
A24
offer the option of a
Dolby Atmos 7.1 surround track or a Dolby 5.1 surround track. There are
a few quasi-aggressive effects - a car-accident, chef competition etc.
The Atmos adds some depth and a few
discreet separations.
The delicate and emotional score was by
Bryce Dessner (The
Revenant.) He is an American composer and guitarist based in
Paris, and a member of the Indie rock band The National,
along with his twin brother, Aaron. It suits the film's moods
beautifully. Romy (Romy Madley Croft) and Sampha (Sampha Sisay)
performed the film's credits song, "I'm on Your Team". You can
hear other music in the film performed by Merrell and the Exiles, The
Housemartins, The xx, Chris Brain, Wolf Alice, Villagers, John Martyn,
Bahamas, Olly Alexander (Years & Years), Avicii, and Gemma Kicks. A24 offer optional English
or Spanish
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
NOTE: For Atmos - many non-compliant
systems will recognizes it as TrueHD 7.1, but from
Wikipedia: "Because of limited bandwidth and lack of
processing power, Atmos in home theaters is not a real-time mix rendered
the same way as in cinemas. The substream is added to Dolby TrueHD or
Dolby Digital Plus. This substream only represents a losslessly encoded
fully object-based mix. This substream does not include all 128 objects
separated. This is not a matrix-encoded channel, but a spatially-encoded
digital channel. Atmos in home theaters can support 24.1.10 channel, but
it is not an object-based real-time rendering. Filmmakers need to remix
and render the TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus soundtracks with Dolby
Media Producer."
The A24
Blu-ray
John Crowley's We Live in Time
floats around with a decidedly nonlinear structure. I thought this worked
rather well in expressing a memory-based quality with flashbacks of
happy or struggling times in a loving relationship. The film is
emotional, without being cloying and has a playful spirit. Andrew
Garfield (The
Social Network,
The Amazing Spider-Man,
Hacksaw Ridge)
plays Weetabix representative Tobias Durand - who is finalizing a
divorce when he meets Almut Brühl (Florence Pugh -
Oppenheimer,
The Boy and the
Heron,
Dune: Part Two) a former figure skater turned Bavarian-fusion
chef. These uniquely specific jobs add a less-serious layer. We Live in Time
captures the essence of a couple deeply in love - with delicate and
tactful
practicality - without being painfully melodramatic, yet it has a
touching, heartfelt core. The performances are excellent. My wife and I
enjoyed it quite a lot. Some have reflected on the similarity to 1970's
'Love Story'
but this is a different expression - especially with the non-linear
narrative. We Live in Time
carries a very desirable cinematic purity to it. I am pleased to have
seen it and appreciate the A24 Blu-ray
