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.
In an interview with GAY TIMES on the first day of filming (28 February), Hermanus said they’re already “on fire” in the highly-anticipated gay romance.
