Conductor

A ten year-old girl witnesses a bloody murder and later has dreams of the events as an adult. The story makes no sense as the grown up woman lives with another woman and neither seems to have a job. They record music for no apparent reason and the only point of interest is the boyfriend of the killer being played by James Jagger, the son of Mick. I can't get no satisfaction from this film.

A brand new world of an ecstatic existence that feeds on veils of viewer's reality. Movie travles to the darkest corners of a broken mind helpless and dependent on sparks of stimuli. Though Jasmine's performance was adequate in portraying the killer ecstasy it lacked emotions of insanity or maybe the story was cut short too early. Alexa's character seemed hardly capable to equip advanced techniques too. Beside such flaws it's a great attempt to literally paint a picture of what make the Alexas tick. Therefore in that regard Sound of Violence is a special project that has achieved mapping a special mind.

The concept is unique, but also doesn't make much sense. The lead character becomes psychotic seemingly out of nowhere, and decides to murder people just to "see" sounds. Could have used a little more logic from this one.

In hindsight I reckon this could make an interesting double bill with Titane. Having said that, Titane is way better than this film. Though that does not mean that this movie is a bad one at all. It is just inferior in certain aspects. Not in casting the main role imho.

It's funny because I just saw her over the last few weeks in a tv show called for the people. Well in her characters mind she is doing what she is doing ... also for the people. Keeping them all in her memory ... or rather in her sound. I reckon what she goes through and what she can "hear" is not scientifically proven or right in any way shape or form - no pun intended.

There is a lot of violence here (Sound of Violence seems more fitting than Conductor, but you may feel different I reckon) and a lot of blood is being spilled. And there is the visual aspect of it all. Because it isn't just "sound", but also a visual treat - at least for the viewer.

Interesting main idea, unfortunately not as gripping or enticing as it could be. A very strange yet quite expected ending caps it all off.

There are plenty of places she could of gone to get her rocks off, but she just chooses silly things that make no sense.

So many avenues for her, child birth, cage fights, bull riding.

That's why it is a very dumb movie, with unconvincing motivations.
