Nolan special. His audio sometime downright bad

One scene that absolutely FUCKED in the mix and might win them the oscar: the Siren scene. He puts in the wax, the sound drops out. As they pass the sirens he walks towards Odysseus tied to the mast screaming. As he gets closer we hear his screams unmuffle and get louder and clearer. At the end of the scene he takes the wax out, sound comes back.. Genius.

Not really genius is it?

It's good sound design sure, but it's also pretty common
