An exclusive look at this sweeping, decades-spanning historical drama. “It’s not just about sex and the intensity of falling in love. It’s deeper than that,” Mescal says.
But this was how the timing had worked out, and Mescal felt determined to seize the opportunity. Along with his costar Josh O’Connor and director Oliver Hermanus, he’d been waiting years to make The History of Sound. When all three were initially attached to the project, Hermanus hadn’t yet made a movie outside of his native South Africa, while Mescal and O’Connor were rising stars coming off of hot TV roles—the former on Normal People, the latter on The Crown. The project floated in limbo.
” This was before Mescal’s Oscar nomination for Aftersun, or the offer to topline Ridley Scott’s massive Gladiator sequel. The History of Sound felt like a homecoming in some ways—“Gladiator is the anomaly in terms of the genre of films that I’ve played in before,” he says—and O’Connor only aided in that experience. The two radiate an intimate, singular chemistry. “We felt very boyish in each other’s company throughout,” says Mescal.
