Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 From an editorial review on Amazon's page:Grounded in the elegiac compositions of classical composer Benjamin Britten, whose majestic choral NOYES FLUDDE ignites the film's young lovers, MOONRISE KINGDOM features masterworks performed by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic as well as popular gems performed by French chanteuse Françoise Hardy and the legendary country troubadour Hank Williams.As in all of Anderson's previous films, music is an essential element and once again it is used to masterful effect. MOONRISE KINGDOM includes an original suite by renowned film composer Alexandre Desplat as well as percussion compositions by longtime Anderson collaborator and Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh. This soundtrack promises to be one of this year's most interesting and compelling releases.Glad to see he didn't completely abandon Mark Mothersbaugh.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Desplat's entire suite for Moonrise Kingdom. Really loving the whole soundtrack. Britten's music is a great new find for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Desplat score suites did not do a lot for me on the whole, developing a single quirky idea over a period of about 16 minutes, the album itself a bit disjointed experience with Britten, Hank Williams et al. thrown in. I am sure it will work in the movie like hot cakes but as a listening experience not a very fluid nor satisfying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Didn't realize that Alexandre Desplat wrote the score for Argo, the most critically acclaimed movie of the year. I'm listening to it right now (thank you, Mr. Spotify) but it's not really my cup of tea. Don't like how he uses electronics and all. Not a big fan of wailing either.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 The whole score is quite low key and infused with Middle Eastern flavors. I like it but he's done much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Zero Dark Thirty is probably Desplat's best score of the year, and one of my favorites of his overall. Probably one of his darkest, moodiest scores, yet still retaining that elegance underneath it all. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,441 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Good to have some Desplat lined up for 2015. I'm particularly looking forward to his Imitation Game score, probably because I expect to like the movie as well. But it's been a great year for Desplat, so I'm sure all his upcoming scores will be worth a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
