A related film, again based on a Kazantakis novel, is the 1957 film, He who must die. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050237/ -

Hmmmmm... I should watch that one too. I have it watched once many years ago and I don't remember anything. Easter is coming here in Greece in one week or so, and I have started watching biblical and other related films. -

A sanitized Hollywood version of the story of Christ. Spectacular, but I personally think it relied much on unwanted scenes like the two battles with Barabbas, the Roman centurion etc.. I think I prefer The Greatest Story ever told, and certainly Jesus of Nazareth. And of course, above all, I love The Passion of Christ, for the depiction of Christ's last hours. I couldn't understand in the other versions the degree of his martyrdom. -

Do you mean the score? Do you think it's a masterpiece? -

Curious how Young ended up scoring this little film. Anyway, the music is quite ethnic and I'm curious also how the composer wrote such music. I mean did he study the music of the country or is he based on traditional melodies? There are many vocal tracks, and I wouldn't ever think that a Hollywood composer wrote these, if I didn't know.. I had listened to this fairly recently, and I can't udnerstand what people find in it. The Silence of the Lambs on the other hand, that's a masterpiece. -

No, to all three questions. If I admitted that SPR is a masterpiece of a score, then it wouldn't be fair for true masterpieces in my book like E.T., Hook or Schinldler's List. As for the film, I vastly prefer The Thin Red line, which was released the same year. -

I listened to Magdalene yesterday, and I found it a great score, although there are a couple of obvious "influences" from Mozart's Requiem. Check it out if you haven't yet. Pity that he has disappeared from the film music world! (Although to tell you the truth, I've only listened to 3 scores in total by him)

Just listening. It's quite good, yeah, but I don't hear any "Americana". Although to be fair, I have connected the term with Copland and Williams.
