Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Pedro Ferreira A brilliant comedian/drama. A great movie for those who likes music, i mean, good music :P. Since the first frame to the last one the persons gets (infected) by the sound of the "noise", by the striking rhythms and the fascinating harmonies created along the "play". The mystery behind each character helps in infection created by the noise. All plays different from each other surprising us with what you can create with the power of the imagination and the talent raised in the back of our minds. Certainly a good movie with a good story, and a great soundtrack. I would strongly recommend to see, and hearing the music present in there.

StevenS Sheehan Sound of Noise is a surreal and ever so slightly barmy Swedish comedy designed to make you look at your household and everyday items in a completely new light. What the film lacks in budget is substituted by the huge ideas incorporated within the story by directors Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson who build a world around the ideals of a fine art project.Sanna and Magnus are two musical mavericks, determined to break away from traditional convention yet they find themselves frustrated at the small scale impact their projects appear to have on their home city. The first of which is seen as they speed down the motorway pursued by the police. Magnus manically beats the drums in the back of their van whilst Sanna revs and changes gear in time with their signature metronome.That will give you a heads up of the running theme throughout the film. They want to make a bigger impression with their work by pushing the musical scope of the city, making people stand up and listen to their passionate creativity. The bottom line is they want to dispose of the rubbish music they fear is ruining their soundscape.Meanwhile Amadeus (Bengt Nilsson), a tone deaf police inspector, picks up on their trail that slowly develops into a personal journey to overcome the years of frustration spent as a side note amongst his own family. His father was a world renowned classical composer and his brother Oscar, a childhood musical prodigy, continues the family tradition as a leading composer in the country.A familiar cops and robbers theme develops between the inspector and the musicians, although never over complicated or serious enough to detract from the light and fun tone so evident throughout.The 'musical terrorists' build their movement around four signature pieces of work in the city, incorporating inanimate objects and whatever materials lay nearby. It brings to mind the work of Matthew Herbert, a classically trained British electronic musician who pioneered the use of everyday objects into the modern electro movement.These set pieces are a joy to behold – wonderful short snapshots of music that are warm, catchy and in the case of the last 'Electro Love' quite poignant.Firstly they take a famous patient 'hostage' in a local hospital, then proceed to play music in, around and actually on him, using the operating materials and machines to get the beat and rhythm formed. The bank is next; except they do not want to steal the money instead shred it through the machine whilst the sound bounces off the stamps being hammered behind the desks.Each example gradually grows in scale making the fourth and last by far the most impressive and one of the most original ideas I have seen on or away from film.Scaling up pylons and across the gigantic electricity lines, they shut down half of the cities power supply then use them as chords to reverberate their final piece deep into the city. The stakes are then raised as they play with the power on, creating a rhythm with the power source so the whole city becomes subject to the throbbing lights played in time. Shops, houses, office blocks and whole streets switch between dark and light in a fantastic crescendo leaving you to wonder how such a small film pulled off such an expansive visual treat.Dig a little deeper and you could use this as an analogy for the young generation to have their voices heard, something indicated later in the film when the cities musicians are rounded up. I could also sit here and pick out some of the flaws with the characters or plot but there would be no point to that at all.Just enjoy the feel good factor, stretching the boundaries of your imagination that will leave a content smile on your face as the bossa nova outro sees you through the door.

stensson "Music for an apartment and six drummers" has reached so called cult status on Youtube. Here is a full length version of the same idea. You can use a hospital patient as percussion, you an surely also use bank note destroyers for the same purpose, not to talk about caterpillars.True drum anarchy and if you're into this kind of humour, you will find this incredibly funny. The plot is thin, on purpose, and includes a tone deaf police inspector. He's coming after the percussion terrorists.This Swedish movie really has its chances to be some kind of cult hit abroad. But you must like rhythm.

The Truth Give credit to Sound of Noise: despite dealing with such lofty themes such as the nature of music and its performance, it never becomes unnecessarily arty or academic. Instead, the movie has loads of quirky humour and an energetic plot, driven by a group of drummers-become-art-terrorists and their plan of turning everyday urban soundscapes into avant-garde percussion pieces. Bengt Nilsson does a nice performance as Amadeus Warnebring, a manic, tone-deaf and music-hating offspring of a family of classical pianists and conductors. The drummers are presented pretty much as caricatures of progressive musicians, but as such they're spot-on and funny. Even though the film-makers' sympathies are clearly on the side of the drummers, they're not above making gentle fun of avant-garde's excesses, and they're also surprisingly understanding of Warnebring's desire to live in a world of silence, with no music. The plot of the movie is slight, with some key elements left unexplained, but its fast-paced and constantly entertaining execution makes up for that. At the heart of Sound of Noise are the percussion pieces performed by the drummers, and they do not disappoint. The four performances seen in the film are awe-inspiring in their mise-en-scène, sound design and editing. For those scenes alone, Sound of Noise would be worth a view; as a whole, it's a quirky but easily-digested piece of pop art.
