Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor Bring Tender Queer Romance to WWI in ‘The History of Sound’
'The History of Sound,' a queer World War I romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor, follows two young men who fall in love while traveling across America to record voices and music in a deeply intimate, emotionally rich drama premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

Love, loss, and longing take center stage in The History of Sound, a sweeping queer period drama starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor that’s already generating major buzz ahead of its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Directed by Oliver Hermanus (Mary & George), the film tells a story of connection between two men at a time when being seen—let alone loved—was a risk in itself.
