What’s New on DVD in May: ‘Rugrats,’ Jackie Chan, ‘Wojnarowicz,’ and More Theaters may be reopening, but physical media is forever — Alonso Duralde spotlights the best new DVDs and Blu-rays Alonso Duralde | May 6, 2021 @ 11:46 AM Nickelodeon Peter Sarsgaard and Rashida Jones make a somewhat unusual couple in “The Sound of Silence” (IFC Films), a somewhat unusual film. And it’s not that Sarsgaard and Jones don’t have chemistry to burn; it’s that the movie operates at its own pace while diving deeply into the Sarsgaard character’s obsessions with the thrums and throbs and vibrations of our day-to-day lives. He “tunes” his clients’ New York City apartments, looking for the sounds (whether they’re on the outside or coming from household appliances) that are disturbing the tenants, and Jones plays a social worker who turns to him for his unique services. Somewhere between “The Conversation” and last year’s “Sound of Metal,” it’s a uniquely eccentric tale that might make you pay more attention to the aural background of your existence.
