‘The History Of Sound’ Review: Paul Mescal And Josh O’Connor Make Beautiful Music Together In Moving Love Story – Cannes Film Festival
A review of 'The History Of Sound' with Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor as friends turned lovers who take a walk through rural Maine collecting songs.
Hermanus also did the terrific remake of Kurosawa’s Living, and he has made a quietly masterful love story here containing a wonderful lead performance from Paul Mescal and an equally fine supporting turn by Josh O’Connor. “Sweet Is The Day Of Sacred Rest,” “Forked Deer,” “The Unquiet Grave,” “Fourteen Wildcat Scalps” and “Across the Rocky Mountain” are just a sampling of titles, but the collective power of this music sweeps you away directly into this world of the road not taken.
