Beyond the Noise

Well this is certainly a strange one! It's a surf movie as told through the lens of existential horror. From the muted colours, lack of lighting, bleak backdrops and jarringly haunting soundtrack (which reminded me a bit of the Tron Legacy OST by Daft Punk) to the narrator gloomily reciting lines about how humanity has lost its way and is now a slave to the modern world, it's not exactly a cheery experience so don't go in expecting a celebration of all things surf culture. It does have its own melancholic beauty though and it was refreshing to experience something different from standard surf movie tropes.

Really boring idea, filming some surfers with nice photography. Very boring to watch. In the background there is a voice that tells us a story, but we can't hear it because of the NOISE of the electronic music. They tell us it is beyond the noise, but there is no point to understand anything with that horrible narrator. We fell like we are inside the noise. Electronic music is played with some acoustic instruments, making it very noisy. Don't waste your time, even if it is only 38 minutes. It is better for you to go to the beach and watch surfers with the natural NOISE and SILENCE of nature. You will enjoy more that watching this nonsense. 3 stars out of 10.
