“…More specifically, as King notes in relation to Julien Donkey-Boy (Korine, 1999) and Buffalo 66 (Gallo, 1998), when aesthetic choices try to capture a 'subjective mental state', it tends to signify some form of mental disturbance (2005: 123). In keeping with this, The Unbelievable Truth and Greenberg demonstrate the potential of audio elements to capture subjective mental states, such as Audry's aural hallucinations.…”

inside the outsider's ear -hyperacousia and marginalized character identification abstractIn this article, Michel Chion's notion of hyperacousia (a character's hypersensitivity to sounds, including inaudible ones) is used as the basis of analysis for sound design in The Unbelievable Truth (1989) by Hartley and Greenberg (2010) by Baumbach. I argue for the significance of hyperacousia to film character construction, as well as audience identification with these fictional personalities. In particular, I consider point-of-audition as a counterpart to point-of-view shots. Murray Smith's cognitive approach to character identification is drawn on and developed from the perspective of the audioviewer's access to subjective sound. Hyperacousia is suggested as a valuable channel for audience identification with a character, particularly marginalized ones, as well as a means through which sound can create an increased sense of interiority, something generally considered difficult to achieve in cinema. I argue that, in both films, a feature is made of the subtle sound effects, and that dialogue plays an important role in signposting these for the audience.
