Christopher Nolan Says Fellow Directors Have Called to Complain About His ‘Inaudible’ Sound
The backlash over "Interstellar" sound left Nolan "a little shocked" at how "conservative people are when it comes to sound."

"We got a lot of complaints," Nolan said about the "Interstellar" sound design. "I actually got calls from other filmmakers who would say, 'I just saw your film, and the dialogue is inaudible.' Some people thought maybe the music's too loud, but the truth was it was kind of the whole enchilada of how we had chosen to mix it."
"It was a very, very radical mix," the director continued. "I was a little shocked to realize how conservative people are when it comes to sound. Because you can make a film that looks like anything, you can shoot on your iPhone, no one's going to complain. But if you mix the sound a certain way, or if you use certain sub-frequencies, people get up in arms."
I just thought it was funny directors actually called him up to complain lol. I'm guessing they didn't like Tenet any better! Personally, there must be something wrong with Nolan's hearing. Seems the sound mix in his moves just keeps getting worse.
