A heavy-metal drummer’s life is thrown into freefall when he begins to lose his hearing. The plot and the main characters are based on Derek Cianfrance’s unfinished docufiction film “Metalhead”, in which the drummer of a heavy metal duo blows his eardrums out and must learn to adapt to a world of silence.
Starring Riz Ahmed and Olivia Cooke, Sound of Metal hits theaters November 20th and streaming services December 4th.
