Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor Get Cozy in The History of Sound Trailer Drop

UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Set during and after World War I, the film follows two men whose love for folk music leads to a forbidden romance and preservation of traditional American songs.

  • The History of Sound's first trailer arrived, with MUBI releasing it, and the film set for theatrical release on Sept. 12.
  • The narrative begins in 1917 at the Boston Conservatory, directed by Oliver Hermanus, and is adapted from Ben Shattuck’s short story.
  • The trailer opens with Lionel hearing David sing and play piano in a bar, it then cuts to them kissing in a stairwell and stroking each other, and the lyrics `she says that I can’t be your bride` echo throughout.
  • Early reactions highlighted a standing ovation at Cannes, and Paul Mescal hit back at Brokeback comparisons by calling them `lazy`.
  • After its Cannes premiere, the film's release plans span multiple regions, with The History of Sound hitting US cinemas on 12 September 2025 and Canada on 19 September, and no UK release date announced yet.
