Synopsis

DIRECTOR'S NOTES

I knew from the start that Ears, as I imagined it, was a comedy that could never have been made according to the usual ways and means of production. The style of filming, consisting of long takes, with extended pauses and silences, the challenge of trying to create a comedy that depends on dialogue rather than on situations using an infinitely small event (waking up with a ringing sound in one's ears) in order to refer to infinitely greater themes, while always keeping a light touch, makes Ears a rather strange and oblique comedy, which is rather unusual within the Italian panorama of film production.

For this reason the Biennale College - Cinema of the Venice Film Festival provided the perfect opportunity as the limitation of the super low budget offered creative freedom I needed. Every time I sat down to write scenes I imagined them in black and white, as if I could not see them in any other way, and as if there was a need to strain or filter the images in order to free them from colour, so that they could completely attain their most basic impact: that of the face, of the word, and of the whole scene.

Dorothy King
8/10

The unique approach to filming with long takes and extended pauses in Ears adds a sense of suspense and anticipation that keeps the audience engaged throughout.

Betty Hall
5/10

I appreciate how the director's vision of creating a black and white atmosphere in the film is reflected in the musical choices. The soundtrack manages to convey the simplicity and purity of the imagery, enhancing the focus on the characters and their interactions.

Joshua Thomas
1/10

The lack of variety in the musical themes made the overall listening experience monotonous and uninteresting. Rather than adding depth and emotion to the storytelling, the soundtrack felt like a mere afterthought that did not contribute to the film's narrative in a meaningful way.

Michelle Hill
9/10

The soundtrack of Ears perfectly complements the unique and offbeat comedy style of the film. The music seamlessly weaves through the long takes and extended pauses, enhancing the quirky and unconventional atmosphere created by the director. Each track adds depth and emotion to the scenes, capturing the essence of the characters and their interactions.

Linda Martin
8/10

The subtle humor that relies on dialogue rather than situational comedy in Ears is refreshing and showcases the talent of the actors and the scriptwriting.

Sarah Martinez
7/10

The minimalist style of production due to the low budget actually enhances the creativity and ingenuity of the film, showcasing the director's ability to work within limitations.

Melissa Phillips
7/10

The black and white imagery used in the director's vision of the scenes creates a timeless and classic feel to Ears, adding a layer of depth to the storytelling.

Timothy Baker
6/10

The soundtrack of Ears perfectly complements the unique and quirky tone of the film. The use of minimalistic and unconventional sounds adds an extra layer of humor and depth to the scenes, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Robert Phillips
2/10

The soundtrack of Ears failed to capture the essence of the film's unique style and comedic tone. Instead of enhancing the quirky and oblique nature of the movie, the music felt out of place and disconnected from the scenes.

Carol Evans
8/10

The overall tone of Ears strikes a perfect balance between being strange and oblique while still maintaining a light and comedic touch, making it a memorable and enjoyable viewing experience.

Steven Hill
9/10

The use of music in Ears is truly a work of art. The carefully selected songs and compositions not only support the narrative but also elevate it to another level. The soundtrack manages to convey the underlying themes and emotions of the film, adding layers of complexity and richness to the overall viewing experience.

Elizabeth Wilson
4/10

The choice of music did not effectively complement the long takes and extended pauses in the film, resulting in awkward transitions and jarring moments that disrupted the flow of the storytelling. The soundtrack failed to create a cohesive atmosphere that would have enhanced the viewing experience and left me feeling underwhelmed and disconnected from the film.

Timothy Nelson
5/10

The music in Ears plays a crucial role in setting the mood and atmosphere of the film. The subtle yet effective use of sound effects and melodies helps to create a sense of unease and tension, adding a surreal quality to the comedic elements of the story.

John Hill
8/10

The use of a ringing sound in the ears as a catalyst for the comedic events in the movie is a clever and original concept that sets Ears apart from other comedies.
