From the organizer:
After the successful screening in Hanoi in April, “Sound of Noise” will come to HCMC this Saturday. In Swedish comedy Sound of Noise, police officer Amadeus Warnebring has suffered his whole life from an allergy to music in all its forms. His bizarre condition has resisted every medical investigation and remedy – even the slightest hint of a melody remains torture for Amadeus.

His existence is thrown into chaos when a gang of delinquent sonic terrorists, led by beautiful revolutionary genius Sanna, decides to enact a full-scale musical assault in the name of anarchy and freedom, using the city – its buildings, its machinery, its ceaseless noise – as their orchestra.

Their first piece is performed in hospital, on the anaesthesized body of a hateful TV star. Warnebring is called in, and thus begins a surreal investigation which will plunge our reluctant hero into the world he has spent his entire life fleeing… the world of music.

Inspired by their internationally acclaimed, multi award-winning short Music for one Apartment and six Drummers, Sound of Noise is the first feature from Swedish directors Simonsson & Nilsson.
