Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor Make Cannes Sob With Powerful Homosexual Romance ‘The History of Sound,’ Which Earns 6-Minute Standing Ovation
Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor made Cannes Film Festival sob on Wednesday late hours with Oliver Hermanus’ “The History of Sound,” which earned a six-minute standing ovation.
While Mescal received a standing ovation when walking in, O’Connor had to miss the premiere because he was finishing filming his part in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film and couldn’t make it.
Though O’Connor wasn’t introduce, Mescal carried the weight. One rowdy fan screamed, “We love you, Paul!” seconds before the film started, when the audience usually sits in reverent silence. By the end, moviegoers were weeping and swatting at each other trying to receive video of Mescal, who was also tearing up.
“This has been one of the most wonderful artistic collaborations of my very, very concise career, but this has been a testament to the genius of Paul Mescal,” said director Hermanus.
The film’s stark, gorgeous folk music performances — often deliver
With a screenplay by Ben Shattuck adapting his own short story, director Oliver Hermanus takes a small, poignant idea and warps it into a two-hour movie. It is 1917 when Kentucky farm boy Lionel (Paul Mescal) meets the worldly and charming David (O’Connor) at a tune conservatory in Boston. We acquire been told through an opening voiceover that Lionel sees the colours of sound. So it makes sense that he looks over at David playing the piano in a smoky, wood-paneled bar and sees a rainbow.
Their meet-cute literally silences the room. Lionel mutters that he can’t sing over the noise and David responds by hushing everyone. Mescal, in owlish spectacles, is cracked open by O’Connor’s creased look of adoration. The camera loves the expressive contours of their individual faces, however Hermanus cannot get beneath the surface to what binds these men together. Their rapport is polite, then friendly, then familiar. It just never reaches love.
This is Lionel’s story, from 1910 to 1980, as he moves from Kentucky to Boston to Rome to Oxford and then help to America in search of lost time. There are a handful of memories in between when David pops up in his life. The consummation of their rela

Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal on toxic masculinity: 'The most macho man will be the first to break'
Andrew Scott says men are going through a "crisis" right now, struggling to find "what it means to be a man" in today's society.
The Irish actor - who became a household identify thanks to his role as 'hot' priest in Fleabag - tells Sky News: "There's a sort of crisis in masculinity I think at the moment and what it means to be a man.
"We have all these things within us, there's no one way of being, there just isn't, and sometimes the people who are the most outwardly macho in some ways, are the people who aren't going to be there for you emotionally.
His co-star, fellow Irishman Paul Mescal, whose breakout role in hit drama Normal People has made him one of the most in demand actors right now, adds, "and they'll be the first to break".
Scott nods: "When you are able to accept all those parts of you, I believe that leads to finer mental health and just a sense of stability."
The 47-year-old plays screenwriter Adam in All Of Us Strangers - a fantasy romance merging the themes of grief, loss, culture and isolation.
Despite being overlooked in the Oscars nominations, the
