After winning the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival with <\/span>Beauty<\/span><\/i> (2011), South African director Oliver Hermanus returns to Cannes with a beautifully shot gay love story “The History of Sound” starring two of the buzziest actors in recent years, Paul Mescal and Josh O\u2019Connor. The film is written by Ben Shattuck, based on his short story of the same name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set in early 20th-century Kentucky, before the outbreak of World War I, the story follows Lionel (Paul Mescal), a talented rural boy with perfect pitch who perceives musical notes as colors and can even identify the note his mother coughs. Discovered by a local school teacher, Lionel is eventually sent to the Boston Music Conservatory, where he crosses paths with David (Josh O\u2019Connor), an academic musicologist passionate about collecting folk songs from across the country. Their affair is interrupted when David is called to serve in the army after the United States enters the war. Nevertheless, the two briefly reunite some time later, hiking through the wilderness of northeastern state Maine and recording locals singing folk songs onto wax cylinders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lionel\u2019s musical journey takes us from rural America to Rome and England, each destination revealing its own distinct soundscape, before ultimately returning to his roots in America and to folk music. The film gently gives space to this American heritage, with lyrics that perfectly resonate with the underlying themes of loss and longing.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as touching as the folk songs are, the almost-perfect cinematography and somewhat overly staged scenes keep the audience at a distance, preventing full immersion in this passionate love story. The beautifully designed period costumes, while visually impressive, fall short of capturing the era\u2019s rawness\u2014they feel too luxurious, too comforting, oddly at odds with the silent suffering of two lovers unable to live their love openly in those times. At moments, the film evokes Van Gogh\u2019s <\/span>The Potato Eaters<\/span><\/i>\u2014but dressed in Loro Piana, as if hardship had been art-directed into elegance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aura and talent of both actors certainly contribute to the film\u2019s overall reception. O\u2019Connor is fully in his element, while Mescal\u2019s Southern accent occasionally feels less natural. Still, thanks to its strong cast, the film is well worth watching.
