The History of Sound director says Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor are “on fire” in gay drama
The director of The History of Sound has praised Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor‘s chemistry in the upcoming gay drama. Directed by Oliver Hermanus, the film is based on the Pushcart Prize-winning novel from Ben Shattuck, a collection of 12 short stories that are set across three centuries and explores generational patterns of love and loss.
The title story follows two young men in the shadows of WWI who are determined to record the lives, voices and music of their American countrymen.
Lionel (Mescal) and David (O’Connor) begin to log the events, whilst falling in love in the process. Speaking with GAY TIMES on the day filming commenced (28 February), Hermanus said they’re already “on fire” in the highly-anticipated gay romance. “I mean, they’re great friends and they get on.
They love working together. This is their first time,” he shared. Mescal, who rose to fame with his BAFTA-winning performance in Normal People and his Oscar-nominated turn in Aftersun, recently starred in the widely-acclaimed gay fantasy romance All of Us Strangers.
