The History Of Sound Trailer Just Dropped, And Paul Mescal And Josh O’Connor Are About To Break Us

Paul Mescal and Josh O'ConnorYesterday, MUBI released the trailer for Josh O’Connor and Paul Mescal’s upcoming movie, The History Of Sound. The teaser shows both actors bonding over music and eventually falling into a relationship; the movie shows the stars travelling and recording the folk songs and stories of American countrymen after World War I.Under the YouTube video, the film company’s caption reads: “Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor play star-crossed lovers in THE HISTORY OF SOUND, a sweeping, moving and tender romance from Oliver Hermanus.” And based on the reactions to the teaser on X, it’s a pretty accurate descrption.“The History Of Sound is gonna absolutely destroy me isn’t it,” one X user wrote above stills from the (stunning) trailer. “Finally watched the History Of Sound trailer,” a poster wrote above a picture of man staring blankly at a wall. finally watched the history of sound trailer pic.twitter.com/Ps528JDTca— monica (@waystarroyhoe) July 24, 2025Responding to the MUBI announcement on the site, someone else shared a meme of The Office’s Steve Carrell saying: “No question about it, I am ready to get hurt again.” pic.twitter.com/lcH6t0h8d3— Guy At The Movies (@GuyAtTheMovies_) July 24, 2025Star Paul Mescal has previously spoken about the movie at Cannes while promoting the flick. At the time, he expressed his “frustration” at comparisons to Oscar-winning film Brokeback Mountain, a movie set around the same time period and also starring two male romantic leads. “When I look at Brokeback Mountain, it’s dealing with repression. This film is pointed in the opposite direction. To be honest, I find those comparisons lazy and frustrating,” the Normal People star said at the time.Early critical reviews for The History Of Sound are reasonably positive, with some calling it a ”masterclass in tender restraint” and a “rare treat to luxuriate in.” Slated to come out on 12 September, the rest of us will have to wait to see whether the trailer lives up to the movie.Related...Paul Mescal Responds To 'Lazy And Frustrating' Comparisons Of His New Queer Romance FilmHere's Why John Lennon's Sister Is Not Happy About Paul Mescal's Casting In New Beatles FilmsJosh O'Connor Reveals How He Really Feels About Challengers Oscars Snub
