In "Words and Pictures," the auditory landscape becomes a pivotal character, weaving through the narrative of rivalry and romance. Robert Mackenzie, as Re-Recording Mixer, crafts an immersive soundscape that captures the tension and tenderness between the flamboyant English teacher and the stoic art instructor. The nuanced sound design, led by Glenn Newnham and Marco Dary, enhances the emotional depth of the film, while the meticulous work of Foley artists and dialogue editors brings authenticity to the school setting. Each auditory element, from the rustle of paper to the echo of footsteps, enriches the story's exploration of connection and conflict.
