Sound of Noise Trailer
Plot / Synopsis

The narrative revolves around police officer Amadeus Warnebring, tone-deaf scion of a distinguished musical family, and his attempts to track down a group of six guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city. The drumming set pieces correspond to an avant-garde score with four hilariously titled movements. Where the short involved the six drummers imaginatively using standard apartment furnishings as their instruments, the feature unleashes them on an unspecified city's civic and cultural institutions. Including an amusing backstory for each of the soberly dressed drummers as well as their nemesis, music-hating investigator Warnebring, the film creates a treat for the eyes and ears from the dull, repetitive sounds of everyday life.
Director: Ola Simonsson, Johannes Stjarne Nilsson
Cast: Bengt Nilsson, Sanna Persson Halapi, Magnus Borjeson, Johannes Bjork

Sound of Noise Trailer Film Trailer Review

I am not a big music fan myself but I find the trailer for the Sound of Noise to be fresh and interesting. This film intrigues me as the protagonists of the film dared to defy the convention, to exercise their definition of the highest form of musical art. I haven't seen this unique mixed of crime, comedy and music, and I think Sound of Noise will be the first I'll ever see one put into film.

Not everyone has the opportunity to watch international films, or even know that a good one has been released. Now thanks to the internet, we now are able so. I personally don't know a thing about this, not until now as I do this post and I can say I am pretty much intrigued on this cat-and-mouse musical film. I laughed a bit on how they made music on that poor patient, but we all know that what they are doing is potentially acts of crime (if not terrorism). But when a film makes one forget that what they are doing is wrong and makes you cheer for them, it has to mean that the film is doing something good, right? I don't mind reading subtitles and I don't think it doesn't take away from the film.
