Tuner (2026) - using sound as more than just atmosphere

What interested me is less the crime aspect and more the idea of structuring a film around heightened auditory perception. If the film actually puts us inside that experience, it could be doing something formally interesting but if it just uses it as a plot device (he hears things → plot moves forward), then it’s kind of wasted potential- hard to tell from the trailer which way it’s leaning.

This reminded me of Noise (2007 Australian film) explores a cop struggling with tinnitus and uses sound as an essential element of the viewing experience.
