The Sound and the Fury background

The Sound and the Fury

A once-respected Southern family confronts the harsh reality of their declining fortunes, grappling with the loss of their legacy, moral bearings, and social prestige.

The movie is loosely based on a William Faulkner novel and tells the story of the Compson family, a once-prominent Southern family struggling to make ends meet both financially and emotionally. The family is marked by dysfunction, with members such as Howard, Benjy, Caddy, Jason, and Quentin each dealing with their own personal demons.
