[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The History of Sound.]
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here! We can finally watch Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connorfall in love on screen.
In Oliver Hermanus’ The History of Sound, the actors play a musically-inclined couple in the early 1900s. Mescal’s Lionel leaves his home in the Kentucky countryside to study singing at the Boston Music Conservatory. O’Connor’s David is a music-composing student there, and they click instantly. Things take a turn when David is drafted into World War I (Lionel isn’t due to poor eyesight), but he returns and invites Lionel to Maine to document folk songs.
