The History of Sound

Lionel and David meet in a bar in New England, where their love for folk music brings them together. De Eerste Wereldoorlog, however, drives them apart. After the war, they find each other again and travel through the heart of America while together immortalizing the lives, voices, and music of their fellow countrymen. They are happy, but know that, in the world they live in, their happiness cannot last. The understated but undeniable chemistry between Paul Mescal (‘Hamnet’, ‘Aftersun’) and Josh O’Conner (‘The Mastermind’, ‘Challengers’) is the heart of this wonderful film, which conjures pure beauty on screen, both visually and musically. Just like the classic ‘Brokeback Mountain’, the film is based on a short story revolving around themes such as impossible love, loss, and regret. A poetic film with beautiful cinematography, enchanting music, and powerful acting performances. 'Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor make a beautiful couple in ‘The History of Sound’, which is like ‘Brokeback Mountain’ with folk songs.' Humo ***
