Anarchistic musicians play in a hospital with a patient as drum, in a bank while shredding banknotes, hanging in power cables, and on the street with road construction machines as instruments. Sound of Noise is a 2010 Swedish-French comedy-crime film written and directed by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson. It tells the story of a group of musicians who illegally perform music on objects in the various institutions of a city. The film is a follow-up to the 2001 short film Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers, which was made by the same people and followed the same basic concept. The title comes from the Italian futurist Luigi Russolo's 1913 manifesto The Art of Noises. (official distributor synopsis)

The genius of some musical numbers is balanced by the relatively average story, which more or less has nothing to offer. You can see that the creators of this movie were figuring out what story could fill what they actually enjoy. And that is the musical numbers that I didn’t believe could be actually created. Sound of Noise becomes the most interesting musical movie I have seen because where else you can experience the symphony of a dying patient or a robbery. And not to mention the symphony on the topic of construction machinery.

Music as opinion, as revolt, anarchy, as an element, as a geyser of erupting emotions that mercilessly sweep away the wall of conventions and civilization habits. Sometimes I feel that everything has already been made and nothing new can be invented even in cinema, only changing perspectives and retouching what others have done before. But then films like this crazy Swedish comedy appear and shatter my expectations. Sound of Noise is an original film that is difficult to compare to anything else. The screenplay is somewhat unfinished, one can somehow feel that the point should be treated more thoroughly. But still, the film is worth seeing. Especially for those who appreciate experimentation and madness of all kinds. I really enjoyed this bombastic provocative music show played illegally. Overall impression: 80%.

Exactly the kind of movie for Meat Factory – it's alternative, it fights conformity, the actors look serious, lots of retro elements and ingenious references to the B-movie days ("Fuck the Music, Kill, Kill!"). Girls with ballerina skirts and slender fingers will like it, but I was hampered by the attempt at a story.
