5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful film May 16, 2012
Format:DVD
Now, this is the sort of film that you think, once it has ended, 'how did they come up with this idea and script?!?'. It is a very funny movie but not in that 'i say a joke...did you get it?' typical way (like most comedy movies are). Don't get me wrong. I also love 'what about Mary' and the likes. But this is something else... it's so different and just makes you laugh at the absurdities and off the wall ideas it confronts you with. And yet, it all seems credible and like it could actually happen. It is just so very well done and with attention to every little detail. Imagine a group of musical 'terrorist' who are fed up with the town's (and possibly the world's) mediocrity in today's music status quo (including classical music). The film shows each of these character's last episode with their former employer (be it a rock, lounge or pit combo/orchestra) and why they are called to form the ultimate music group to show what music really is all about. Then there is the tone deaf policeman (from a respected classical music family) who starts to piece together the real intentions of the group after discovering clues in each one of their musical 'attacks'. It sounds pretty ridiculous trying to put it into words. But believe me it is VERY funny and original. Rent it or go see it. You will have a blast.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stomp meets Ocean's Eleven July 5, 2012
Format:DVD
"Sound of Noise" is rooted in a boldly original premise. Six Swedish drummers set out to perform 'Music for One City and Six Drummers.' To pull it off, the percussionists must perform the composition's four movements at various public locations using non-musical objects, vehicles and even body parts. The performances bring to mind the way the Stomp theater group uses everyday objects to create complex polyrhythms. Additionally, the activist drummers assemble and operate in a way that reminisces the clandestine yet humorous antics of the criminal team in "Ocean's Eleven." "Sound of Noise" gives an original spin on the cops and robbers plot thread as police officer Amadeus Warnebring pursues the bohemian pranksters. The pursuer and pursued come together for a zany ending that invokes the absurd but is entirely hilarious. It's an indie film that's likely to resonate with musicians and drummers in particular. It feels like an art house film done with a big budget, complete with fantastic visual effects. The film can only be watched in Swedish with English subtitles. Much of the quirky film experience is visual and musical; so despite the language barrier, it shouldn't be a difficult watch for most American viewers. In any case, the Swedish cityscape makes for a vivid setting. The novel storyline, music and acting make for a memorable watch. So in the end, "Sound of Noise" is anything but noise.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Music of Life December 6, 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If the Monkees were reincarnated in Sweden (with actual musical talent), and decided they wanted to best the Beatle's "A Hard Day's Night" with a 21st century art flick/music video with a plot.....you might get something like "Sound of Noise". If Stomp and Blue Man Group stumbled onto onto a police thriller movie set in Stockholm....you might get something like "Sound of Noise". What fun! What great music! I wish I could see them in person....but this video (and the special features) is the next best thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and Innovative Film
I loved this film. The art of music used as subversive counter culture terrorism strikes a chord in all of us tired of mainstream "music."
A lovely film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!
Totally bizarre premise. Will definitely appeal to those with a soft spot for art, music, civil disobedience, occupy movement, etc. Charming and unique.
