Blow Out (1981)

A sound-effects recordist captures a car leaving the road, then hears a detail that may change what the accident was. The scene begins as the pleasure of collecting a night environment and becomes a problem of evidence outside the camera's immediate view. Brian De Palma makes lining up sound with images physically absorbing: tape, still photographs and repeated playback become tools for thinking. Choose it for a thriller in which listening actively builds the investigation.
