Hope to see the film this week but this really is gorgeous music. One of his best imo.
Agreed, Pete. As an album it's possibly my favourite. I read the book which I thought was very moving - I know the film's got poor reviews but given how much I enjoyed the book and how much I enjoy the music I certainly want to see it.
Just wanted to say that I found this one really beautiful, this is the kind of writing I like from Desplat. Emotionnal without being overdone, yet really effective in the movie, with a luminous, soulfull quality. One of the best of the year, and one of the best from Desplat in quite some time. Don't miss it.
The movie, while clearly not as fascinating as "The place beyond the Pines", is a solid, well acted drama.
This is the Desplat we all love indeed! Great Album and I'm enjoying it very much. Haven't seen the film yet but Desplat is one of the few composers I trust to tell the story well and without overdoing it! Can't wait!
