Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The Shape of Water - Alexandre Desplat I always liked this but I honestly like it more each time I listen to it. “Rainy Day” is superb. I didn’t like the movie, but I’m totally fine with this being Desplat’s second Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I find the whole score very pleasant, it fit the twisted fairy tale tone that Del Toro was going for like a glove. Hey the melodies are memorable and well-orchestrated, which is more than can be said of 98% of modern scores. I’ll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Too much whimsy, Gondry-style. It was either too low-key or too accordion lightweight, which never really fitted the movie (that was also somewhat misguided in its tone and design). That one moment i felt a dramatic weight most of the rest lacked. For such a 'safe' score i have curiously little affection for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 Lincoln - John Williams The Shawshank Redemption - Thomas Newman These are autumnal scores if you ask me but I happened to find myself spending time with them today. Mr. Newman's music, through a little light amidst mostly shade, eloquently points the mind in the direction of some elusive yet elemental aspects of the human condition. A paradigm of film scoring.

Incanus 5,713 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Julius Caesar by Miklós Rózsa: This is the first actual score I ever listened from the composer and it still holds a special place in my heart. The re-recording by Bruce Broughton and the Sinfonia of London is exemplary and wonderfully recorded and as ever showcases Rózsa's artistry not just as a film composer but as a composer period. His partly tortured partly ruminative string theme for Brutus, his pompous militaristic march theme for Caesar and various little motifs all seem effortless and inevitable in their construction and interaction which is best displayed in the finale of Caesar Now Be Still where the composer deftly joins the main themes in a magnificent counterpoint development that ever grows in intensity only to suddenly end with a powerful percussion cadence. It might not be overly subtle in its approach but always thoughtful and intricate in its construction and on album it is vivid musical storytelling well worthy of the famous Shakespeare play. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
