ln Sound of MetaI, a tale of sound, fury, and seIf-discovery, Riz Ahmed deIivers an intensely committed performance as the voIatiIe Ruben, who has found new purpose as a drummer in a noise-metal duo, playing blistering Iive shows with his singer girIfriend, Lou (OIivia Cooke). When Ruben suddenly loses much of his hearing, he is launched on a profound odyssey—through denial, anger, grief, and, gradually, acceptance—as he comes to understand what it means to Iive as a deaf person and to discover deafness as not a disability but as a rich culture and community. Through stunningly immersive, Academy Award–winning sound design, director Darius Marder invites us to experience the world as Ruben does, capturing a sonic spectrum in which silence comes in a thousand shades.
