Queer Cinema Preview: The History of Sound
In 1917, the young and gifted music student Lionel (Paul Mescal) meets his fellow student David (Josh O’Connor) at the Boston Conservatory, where a deep bond forms between them through their shared love of folk music. Years later, a letter from David sets Lionel on an improvised journey through the wilderness of Maine to collect folk songs. Their unexpected reunion, the love affair that follows, and the music they gather and record will have a defining impact on the course of Lionel’s life.
With a slow, almost breathless rhythm and a restrained visual language, the film allows emotions not to be spoken aloud, but to resonate softly through music, glances, and silence.
