crocodile 7,989 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes by Miklos Rozsa. Finally got myself a copy of this fine score. Also... I'm currently listening to this. I'd say it might be among the stronger scores released this year. For a change, we're getting a listenable thriller score. In 2017!

Popular Post Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted October 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2017 Lincoln - John Williams A fine autumnal score. I'm a believer in clarity and economy of means, and this may be Williams' strongest effort to abide by those principles. It's exceptionally restrained music by his standards, which is appropriate for the historical figure and scenario it is paired with. Humble, quasi folky hymning sits comfortably alongside the resolute but transparent evolution of the Copland Americana idiom that Williams has toyed with throughout his career, fully explored here. In stripping away the superfluous - in notes, orchestrations, and dramatic thrust - a composer lays bare what their true musical constitution is. Here is proof of the musical elegance innate in John Williams, one of the finest scores of his career. Even in some of his spare, intimate chamber music, there isn't as much of that laying bare going on. This score is perhaps the closest we'll get from him to that musical striptease that is a string quartet.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 It really fits with the themes of the film. Stripping away the mythology to reveal the human at the center, thereby showing why he was deserving of mythologizing in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil Their work for the mixed bag that was Cloud Atlas was quite good, but this lesser known, seemingly all but overlooked entry from the trio is more in line with what might tickle the fancy of the average JWFan, and I recommend investigation. A throwback score in the best way, with a classy performance from the Berliner Philharmoniker with Sir Simon Rattle, it's a dark, dreamy, sighingly romantic work, with shades of Herrmann and ravishing, quasi Bond sensuality, but there's an unmistakable individuality present that one finds in the work of these three composers, with some truly curious orchestral colors.

It seems a good movie for quite a while, but it completely goes against the whole point of the novel at the climax (which up to that point it seems to try to portray, even if it doesn't approach its depth). It ends up failing really, really badly. I remember rather liking the score, but I still haven't picked it up. I should - I love their Cloud Atlas score.

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hook, LLL CD2. Stunning score, though the flying sequence is performed really, really badly. The bonus section still boggles my mind. Hopefully, the lost tapes will be found soon so that MM can have a go and use some fairy dust to appease JW (or cut him out of the process completely).

Not knowing the book, I fully expect the film seems "right". But my point is, the whole thing (the book) is one big character study, with a very special character with specific attributes. The film doesn't seem to go against this core idea for most of its running time, but perhaps only because it cannot convey the concept like a book can. The orgy scene, which serves as the final fortification of that character concept, is completely out of (book) character in the film. And since the character is all it's about, if you accept the premise of the book, the film is simply wrong. I recommend reading it. I probably should read it again myself.

publicist 4,643 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It was very sensual. But being an Eichinger movie, it was clear from the get-go that he would try for big 'epic' movie effects instead of subtleness. Still, could have been worse. Like most of Tykwer's movies it is a mixed bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
