Evoking early ’70s American cinema, especially Robert Altman and his love of the zoom lens, Great World of Sound depicts a group of talent scouts working for a scam record label. Martin (Pat Healy) and Clarence (Kene Holliday) travel around the South and Midwest auditioning musicians, who then have to put up several thousands of their own money to make an album. Director Craig Zobel combines narrative and documentary elements provocatively, incorporating hidden camera auditions of real artists. The result is a superbly acted film that feels unlike any other recent American indie work.
