The History of Sound is a sweeping, wrenching historical drama starring two of the most exciting actors of their generation.

The film premieres this month at the Cannes Film Festival , before Mubi releases it in US theaters later this year .

Adapted by Ben Shattuck from his own short story, the film examines the seismic impact of a fleeting romantic encounter between Lionel (Mescal) and David ( O'Connor ).

The History of Sound stars Josh O'Connor and Ben Hermanus .

Mescal wanted to portray David , not Lionel , in the film.

Hermanus and Mescal had no idea which character they’d play.

The two radiate an intimate, singular chemistry.

The History of Sound stars David Mescal as Lionel and David in the film.

The film team worked closely with composer Oliver Coates and contemporary singer-songwriter Sam Amidon to nail down an unforgettable soundscape.

The full scope of the thematic power doesn’t reveal itself until the film’s final act.
