THE SOUND OF NOISE
(R) 102min
[in Swedish with subtitles]
May 15 - 17, 5:30 and 7:45
Part police procedural, part romance, part musical, this absurdist Swedish comedy follows a team of guerilla percussionists, using unconventional implements as instruments (think Blue Men Group or Triplets of Belleville soundtrack) who commit illegal acts in order to make music. This ragtag group is investigated by an uptight police officer who, despite being born into a family of famous musicians, is tone deaf, and they don’t let him forget it. This makes him cranky, as does having to investigate and track down these anarchists. A work in four movements from co-directors Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson, this is silly, crowd-pleasing fun.
