Premise

The brain of C., a sound designer, is beginning to process sound later than visual images. Likewise, she also acquires the ability to hear what had happened in a place she had not been previously.[1]

Cast

Production

Tres is a joint Spain–Lithuania–France international co-production, produced by Frida Films, Nadir Films, M-Films and Manny Films.[2][5] It received help from the ICAA, ICEC [ca], AGADIC [gl], and it had participation of TVG, TV3, Canal+, also receiving funding from MEDIA and Eurimages.[6] It was directed by Juanjo Giménez, who also wrote the screenplay alongside Pere Altimira.[7]

Release

The film made its world premiere at the 18th Venice Days, and it was also screened at the Toronto Film Festival and the Sitges Film Festival.[5][8][9] Distributed by Filmax,[8] the film was theatrically released in Spain on 5 November 2021. Le Pacte handles the international sales.[6] It received a 3 August 2022 theatrical release date in France.[10]

Reception

Reviewing for El Periódico de Catalunya, Beatriz Martínez gave Out of Sync 4 out of 5 stars, considering the film to be "an allegory of the loss of links with reality when everything around us crumbles", labelling the number of (different) layers in the film as "prodigious".[11]

Sergi Sánchez of La Razón gave it 5 out of 5 stars, extolling how "it approaches sound with an unusual aesthetic rigour, never forgetting to delve into the emotional journey of its protagonist", while warning that its risky formal proposal may put off more than one viewer.[12]

Carlos Marañón of Cinemanía gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that the film proposes "a story underpinned by the opposition between silence and sound", in a manner as effective as it is disquieting, "which brings us back to the simplicity of pure cinema".[13]

Ricardo Rosado of Fotogramas gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, highlighting both 1) the prominence of the film's premise over melodrama; and 2) Marta Nieto, to be the best things about the film.[14]
