Sturgill Simpson Presents Sound & Fury (Netflix) takes place in a world torn apart by incomprehensible wars. The 41-minute feature begins with a gorgeously animated, but brutal attack on a monastery. Years later, a Ronin seeks revenge on the perpetrators. Through various vignettes (most of which are fully animated) viewers experience the war from the perspective of various individuals (such as a skateboarding scavenger and a slave worker in a forced labor camp), while the Ronin story remains the movie’s central thread.

As rebels across the former United States prepare for their last stand, all hope for freedom rests on a pivotal showdown between the powerful, but embattled Reichsmarschal Smith, and the universe-hopping rebel Juliana Crain.
