Sound of Noise Reviews
More like the sound of farts. Confusing film though Acting was good.
Sound of Noise is a funny but timid film that is clearly heavily influenced by its production team's love of music. It has some really cool set pieces that are used to make music in extremely unique ways, which is hands-down the best part of the film. The story to tie all of these set pieces together is a little weak, but overall it's hard not to be entertained. A little forced romance aside, this is a fun and weird movie made by musicians, for musicians.
This movie is an amazing critique of social standards and institution hierarchies that is so visible to any sort of non popular musician - and yet in the same movie critiques the value of music at all, and validates the dislike of music. Anarchist values, norm critiquing, and incredible musical insight are what make this movie incredible. As a musician at a school similar to that where the protagonist drummers attended, I understand that the same criticism every music major feels when they attend school is that their major is lesser because it's not often as well a money maker as other, more hailed, professions are, and it's therefore seen as needing some sort of justification as to why you would ever choose to do that - be a music major or go to a music school. It's those same pressures that music students face that they also subject all music to with a hierarchy of musical validity, namely that classical music is the utmost degree of music, and therefore is the only valid thing. In the movie the classical bourgeois institution is taken on by the anarchist drummers that understand there should be no hierarchy, and these drummers that so value music as their entire lives, are more able to empathize with the cop that has an extreme distaste for any music, than his own bourgeois, classical loving family. Unbelievable story, execution, and dynamic. Bravo!
Weird and wonderful.
Ce film suédois et très original, drôle et passionné par la musique. Sound of Noise est incomparable.
The story is overshadowed by the spectacle of seeing the Swedish group "Six Drummers" performing experimental and conceptual percussion music with everything imaginable (machines, beep sounds, human skin, coins, electric wires, etc.) The 4 musical numbers are entertaining, they keep you moving your head all along. In general, the movie has some funny things, and I like the premise of contemporary ways of creating art (music in this case) trying to break tradition and establishment. But I definitely think that the filmmakers could have worked a little bit more in the writing of the story.
Beautifully absurd and absurdly beautiful. A must-see for any fan of quirky, off-beat (or in this case, on-beat) cinema.
weird wacky comedy post #3
6/10 Swedish production, liked the musical ideas, very well made. But the hole movie is kinda off track. Not a bad movie, just different

Not the greatest of movies, but it's a ridiculous amount of fun.
It's a wonderful amalgam of dark comedy, performance art, and detective mystery. Watch it if you can.
Crazy props for creativity. It's ambitious. It could have done more with the story and it didn't meet the ambitious magnitude it aimed for.
"Sound of Noise" is a punch in the stomach for all of those who believe Foreign cinema is dull. Sound of Noise is everything but boring. It is funny, witty and a delight for the ears! I really enjoyed it. Although I didn't like the ending.
This film is quite funny, a bit ludicrous (by intent), and very poignant. The Swedes sure can make some great movies.
What Sound of Noise eventually presents is an offbeat musical fable for adults, and a well-photographed, impeccably paced one at that. One of the most original films of the year. *3.5/4*
