| Summary: |
The theme of how noise music would deal with the interruption to social life caused by a pandemic has been portrayed in Aoyama Shinji’s movie Eli Eli, Lema Sabachthani? (2005), whose plot is centred on how listening to the purity of noise is able to cure a disease. By relying on noise aesthetic theories and both historical and spiritual insights, this paper will analyse this movie through the eyes of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting how the movie’s visual symbolism aims to represent noise as a response to incertitude, underlining how free will is inherent in humans and should be used to improve our society.
