Review of Prelude

Prelude (2019)
4/10
aimless and scattershot
31 May 2021
I thought the movie would be worth it, but to be honest: go look for something else. The viewer is snatched from one scene to the other with no connection / no context, and the story is so badly explained / non-understandable that it all makes no sense. I don't know what good the other reviewer saw in the sound design, but I've never seen such an obnoxious sound track (and I work in acoustics) - a very low-frequency near-infrasound rumbling is played throughout nearly the whole movie, which quickly becomes unnerving, especially since it has absolutely no connection to the scenes. I guess the director wanted the movie to accompany the protagonist's descent into depression, but the whole was very badly "orchestrated", to choose a fitting term. Not recommended.
