Paul Mescal And Josh O’Connor, two of our liveliest contemporary actors, leads queer -romantics ”Sound history“A lot to the pleasure of film Chirp. The long -awaited movie was announced 2021, with director Oliver Hermanus admiring Both stars “two of the most promising actors in their generation” at that time.
Four years later, and that statement rings even more true today.
Mescal stars in the film as Lionel, who falls for his fellow music student David (O’Connor). The duo then intended to record life, voices and music from the World War soldiers. The film is an adaptation of Ben Shattucks award -winning short story. And yes, Mescal sings in the role. “The History of Sound” will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month.
Director Hermanus (“Living”) recently told Vanity That it is to the film’s advantage that production took so long to start in the middle of pandemic, financing issues and strikes. “Their life (Mescal and O’Connor) literally changed, and it was always this group thinking situation,” where can we find the time to force the universe to let us make this movie? “, Hermanus said.” We probably wouldn’t have been able to make this movie when we wanted in 2022, because they were not Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor that we now know today. “
As Mescal added, “How many times do you hear people who are really trying to get something done over five, 10, 15 years, and it just falls away? I remember I felt very happy. As we have to enjoy this. Since we come across other opportunities in our lives where we love a script as much as this, and we just must not. What I am most proud of is that the feeling I had when I read the script for the first time is what I got when I saw the movie for the first time. “
Mescal annoyed that the film has a “real sense of friendship” between the two main characters, and that the drama comes from “joy and loss that comes with the presence and absence of it.” Mescal said, “It’s not just about sex and the intensity of falling in love. It’s deeper than that.”
