UNSOUND
Ian Watson, 2020, Australia, 103 min.
Cast: Reece Noi, Yiana Pandelis, Todd McKenney, Paula Duncan, Christine Anu
There’s a silent synchronicity on the screen when Noah, a disillusioned musician, returns home to Australia for some soul searching and falls for Finn, a deaf trans DJ trying to build up his community dance club, as they chase down dreams and demons. In this singular story, music replaces dialogue as the language of love and, like exchange students in a foreign land, their contrasting worlds move from collision to collaboration once they decide who they really are. The roguishly sexy Reece Noi and disarmingly cute Yiana Pandelis bring a fiery magnetism to their roles as individualists who dance to the beat of their own drums.
