As the tagline suggests, here is a film that is the first of its kind. Imported from Sweden, Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjarne Nilsson’s Sound of Noise is a musical heist dramedy wherein a group of musicians cause havoc in a city. It’s been a long journey for the indie film, shot way back in 2008 and premiering at Cannes Film Festival in 2010.
It showed at Fantastic Fest here in the states the same year, where it won the top prize at that fest. After getting acquired by Magnolia, it will finally see a release here next month. It looks like complete madness in a great way and I love the mix of genres and it looks to have a fitting semi-serious tone. Check out the trailer below via Apple.
Synopsis:
Police officer Amadeus Warnebring was born into a musical family with a long history of famous musicians. Ironically, he hates music. His life is thrown into chaos when a band of crazy musicians decides to perform a musical apocalypse using the city as their orchestra… Reluctantly, Warnebring embarks on his first musical investigation…
Sound of Noise hits limited theaters on March 9th, 2012.
