Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams Mark Relationship Milestone at Cannes Film Festival

  • Oliver Hermanus’s film The History of Sound, featuring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor as Lionel Worthing and David White, made its debut during the 2025 edition of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
  • The film follows Lionel, a musically gifted man from Kentucky, and David, his fellow student and love interest, whose relationship is disrupted by World War I.
  • After David’s military draft, Lionel returns to his family’s one-room farm while David later undertakes a folk song-collecting trip across Maine and invites Lionel to join him.
  • Paul Mescal said, "the lion's share of the movie belongs to Mescal," and O'Connor noted he shot all his scenes in two weeks, emphasizing their performances.
  • The film explores a quiet, constrained romance shaped by war and music, implying themes of loss and preservation of cultural heritage through folk songs.
