So to say I was looking forward to his new romance, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, would be an understatement. Here’s what I mean about the limitations of film being seen primarily as a visual medium: every single frame of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is painterly and sumptuous. Structurally, The History of Sound is almost identical to Brokeback Mountain, but instead of shepherds, the main characters are ethnomusicologists. With performance, dialogue, subtext, and emotion, The History of Sound tells a story more powerfully than A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and its expertly crafted visual voyage.
