The latest CD from Intrada is a two-disc release of Jerry Goldsmith's kinetic orchestra-and-synth score for Walter Hill's 1987 thriller EXTREME PREJUDICE, featuring some previously unreleased music. (The original Extreme Prejudice soundrack was among the label's very first releases back in the day)
Music Box has announced two new reissues of previously out-of-print releases -- their expanded edition of Ennio Morricone's score for the 1982 spy thriller ESPION, LEVE-TOI, starring French screen legends Lino Ventura and Michel Piccoli, with improved sound; and a CD pairing two 1979 scores by Claude Bolling, L'ETRANGE MONSIEUR DUVALLIER and MISS.
Quartet has announced two new CDs, each featuring two scores by Philippe Sarde -- BAROCCO (1976) and LES SOEURS BRONTE (The Bronte Sisters - 1979), both starring Isabelle Adjani (Bronte Sisters also has Isabelle Huppert, for those at home playing Isabelle Bingo), and one featuring two scores for director Marco Ferreri, LIZA (1972, starring Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve) and LA DERNIERE FEMME (The Last Woman, 1976, with Gerard Depardieu and Ornella Muti).

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
BLACK WIDOW - Lorne Balfe
"On the craftsmanship side, 'Black Widow' is top-notch, with muscular camerawork from Gabriel Beristain and a wonderful score by Lorne Balfe that ranges from gentle piano to high-intensity suspense and almost into the operatic as it incorporates stormy choral elements. The editing of the fight scenes is perhaps a touch too unrelentingly fast, often blurring the choreography, but the physical side never feels overwhelmed by CG enhancement."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
GAIA - Pierre-Henri Wicomb
"Everything about 'Gaia' works in tandem to create a steadily escalating mood of Blastomycotic body-horror distress (including Pierre-Henri Wicomb’s anxiety-inducing score). Fans of Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy and its 'Annihilation' adaptation, and lovers of the defiantly feminine and vengeful natural world will find plenty to chew on in 'Gaia'."
Marc Savlov, The Austin Chronicle
"Per modern genre trends, 'Gaia' opens with two kinds of drone: As the camera glides ominously over the treetops, observing the South African wilderness from a godlike (ahem) elevation, the music whines and throbs with familiar atonal dread. But this isn’t entirely one of those slow burns that delight festivalgoers and enrage multiplex crowds. "
A.A. Dowd, The Onion AV Club
LES NÔTRES - Marie-Hélène L. Delorme
"'Les Nôtres' is outwardly similar to 2018’s 'Little Tickles,' 'The Tale' and last year’s 'Slalom' which deal in the horror of pedophile grooming, and especially in the way that children can be unwittingly coerced into complicity with their victimizers. And elements like the dusky photography and Marie-Hélène L. Delorme’s score, which comes draped in dread, do almost feel like they could belong to a horror movie, while this exact situation feels like the setup for a dozen HBO small-town murder-mysteries. But Leblanc and Baribeau’s screenplay is a subtler beast, to the point of frustrating our expectations in these post-MeToo times for comeuppance or catharsis. Instead, with a painterly stillness, the film unfolds as a progressive rotting, which moves outward from the central violation to reveal the misogyny, racism, xenophobia and complacent self-interest that undergirds this seemingly pleasant, neighborly place."
Jessica Kiang, Variety
LUCA - Dan Romer
"As you get immersed in the story, you’re also entranced by a lovely escape to a nostalgic Italian summer that’s inspired by visits to real-life places and rendered in a style akin to that distinctive Miyazaki aesthetic. I also want to get my hands on the original score -- the music soars gorgeously."
Aparita Bhandari, The Globe and Mail
"The first way that 'Luca' differentiates itself from the rest of the Pixar canon is with music. The staccato punctuation of Dan Romer’s score immediately distances this from anything the studio has made before (despite a familiar underwater setting). The 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' composer summons his signature tremble and swell to set the stage for a movie that eschews the vast adventure of 'Finding Nemo' for something more in-the-moment and driven by the capriciousness of youth."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"'Luca' certainly isn’t without its charms. A visual splendor of blue and orange lighting blankets over the seaside setting, giving the sense that if I were to merely hug the screen it would warm me for days. Minute bits also land, like the fish that make sheep sounds, and the hilarious ways Luca’s mother and father careen through the town trying to find their son, throwing random children in the water. And Dan Rohmer’s [sic] propulsive, waltzy score recalls the fairytale vibes he breathed in 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' on tracks like 'Once There Was A Hushpuppy.' But 'Luca' retreads too much well-cultivated ground and reworks so many achingly familiar tropes as its best qualities sink to a murky bottom. While some material may hit with younger audiences, 'Luca' makes for Pixar’s least enchanting, least special film yet."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
"Though the childhood friendship this movie honors is based on an experience the director had in the early 1980s, the time frame has been moved to some unspecified period in the ’50s or ’60s -- an excuse to play some classic Italian pop on the soundtrack, along with the Ennio Morricone-esque original score by Dan Romer."
Dana Stevens, Slate.com
"While the time frame is unspecified, the look of the village and the human characters’ clothing in Daniela Strijleva’s gorgeous production design clearly indicate the 1960s, as do the Italian pop hits of artists like Mina, Gianni Morandi and Rita Pavone, sprinkled in among Dan Romer’s gentle melodic score. A quick glimpse of a film still of Marcello Mastroianni also evokes the era."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
TOVE - Matti Bye
"The film’s 3.6 million Euro budget appears to be all up on the screen thanks to meticulously created interiors and costumes, from production designer Catharina Nyqvist Ehrnrooth and costume designer Eugen Tamberg. The striking set for Tove’s very lived in studio is a dead ringer for period photographs. Meanwhile, Bergroth’s longtime editor Samu Heikkilä keeps the action pacey, while the jazzy swagger of numbers from the Mambo Noir Trio on the music track proves more memorable than composer Matti Bye’s sparsely used score."
Alissa Simon, Variety
ZOLA - Mica Levi
"Bravo, who co-wrote the film with playwright Jeremy O. Harris, has a preternatural sense for cinematic textures, soundscapes and tempos; she applies her sensibility to this tale rooted in smartphone culture. The dialogue is informed by text and Twitter linguistics, dramatic beats are driven by and delivered via phone. Digital dings, whistles and vibrations make up a jittery sonic blanket that overlays Bravo’s visual style of carefully composed static shots and slow zooms, with bodies that move into and around the frame. The sound design, along with Mica Levi’s score, offers a sense of rhythm and whimsy to the film, which deftly rides the line between menacing and absurd."
Katie Walsh, The Los Angeles Times
"Highlighting the inner differences between the central duo is visual language as intimate and humorous as the way the characters approach their lives and professions: Rarely is the gap between two characters’ moral fiber communicated via eyeballed urinalysis, but a long shot peering into a pair of full toilet bowls leaves a single conclusion. Someone’s very soul is dehydrated. Bravo channels aspects of neon Michael Mann (if Mann loved to film asses), hinted at with a 'Miami Vice' reference, and aesthetically flexible Steven Soderbergh while innovating a look specific to 'Zola.' That includes one of the most inventive sex scenes I’ve ever seen, strung together into a simultaneously grotesque, upsetting and entertaining montage by editor Joi McMillon. Bravo and cinematographer Ari Wegner acclimate us in the whirlwind with every shot -- even as some of these sequences mimic that dissociative feeling you get when you’re way, way over your head. As your intoxicated eyes cross, drunk on Mica Levi’s demonic striptease soundscape and the persistent app blips, and reality fades into pastels, the film does so with a tactile bit of grain. There is escapism but not escape, which reinforces the movie’s compassion for those actually going through its sometimes amusing, often harrowing hardships. Even for the a******s."
Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine
"That said, 'Zola' is first and foremost a zany, catastrophic road-trip dramedy, one that balances the whimsy of social media with the harrowing reality of being trapped in a dangerous situation. Humorously monotone verbalizations of text messages and chirpy notifications pay tribute to the story’s digital origins, while long shots of unremarkable roads speak to a feeling of mounting, endless dread (enhanced by another otherworldly score by 'Jackie' and 'Under The Skin' composer Mica Levi). Bravo, whose previous film was the deadpan comedy 'Lemon,' uses symmetry to express the growing opposition between the women, placing the two side by side for recurring shots of them getting ready for a show or physically dividing them with the wall of a hotel suite when the fast friends are squaring off for the first time."
Shannon Miller, The Onion AV Club
"Led by fantastic Taylour Paige in what will certainly be a breakout role, the story kicks off directly with the first tweet of the thread as the first of many fourth wall breaks occur: 'Y’all wanna hear a story about why me and this bitch her [sic] fell out? It’s kind of long, but full of suspense.' Bravo’s film is, in fact, not too long at 90 minutes, and the suspense is one of a more unexpected variety. Continuing the off-kilter vision on display in her directorial debut 'Lemon' with now a more clearly-defined narrative, she is the perfect fit for this material. Accompanied by Mica Levi’s score -- which mixes fairytale-esque harps to introduce the story and Southern-fried beats and synths as the craziness progresses -- Bravo elevates the material and provides a unified, eccentric vision."
Jordan Raup, The Film Stage
"That turns out to be the right instinct, but Zola’s already in too deep to call it quits. So begins an unsettling descent into the seedier aspects of their journey, zipping along with Bravo’s naughty sense of play in charge. Shot in gorgeous 16mm with a vibrant soundtrack of discordant rhythms by 'Monos' and 'Jackie' composer Mica Levi, 'Zola' often unfolds at the fragmented clip of the feed that inspired it."
Eric Kohn, IndieWire
"Because going on a road trip, like pole dancing, is an inherently cinematic activity, the visual experience of 'Zola' enhances and enlarges King’s twisty narrative in some obvious ways. The Florida sunshine casts its own woozy spell in Ari Wegner’s 16-millimeter images, as does Mica Levi’s atmospheric score, punctuated every so often by Twitter-notification sound effects. Certainly you couldn’t ask for better actors to play the four principals, especially Paige, who needs little more than her exquisite side-eye to turn Zola into a winningly smart protagonist. She may have been hoodwinked into these trick-turning, gun-waving shenanigans, but she crucially refuses to become a passive observer or participant."
Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
"One of the big conversation pieces of the festival, 'Zola' has already been mentioned in the same breath as 'Hustlers' and 'Spring Breakers.' But the arch vibe is closer to a funky-discursive post-Tarantino joint, just with more smart-phone-inspired stylistic tics (like the little bloops that announce both an incoming text and a moment that Zola will later tweet about) and a general debauchery that’s presented both salaciously and with a certain detached unease courtesy of Mica Levi’s latest sci-fi score. Outside the theater, volunteers warned those of us in line that they’d be checking IDs -- a great pump-up-the-crowd move on their part, especially given that the sex and violence we’d all be taking in soon is pretty safely in the R range. (Even with a montage of d**k shots like the one stuffed in the middle of another movie that got me carded outside the Egyptian a few years back, Lars von Trier’s 'Nymphomaniac.')"
A.A. Dowd, The Onion AV Club
"Of course, there’s been a long tradition of adapting classical literature into films, but the tweet thread is still unproven source material. And first hearing about 'Zola,' the question really was whether director Janicza Bravo, in only her second feature after 2017’s irritatingly over-mannered anti-comedy 'Lemon,' could capture the original’s electricity. There wasn’t only Zola’s inimitable prose to consider, with its admixture of pithy urban colloquialism, online abbreviations and sex worker jargon, sprinkled with a smattering of New Yorker op-ed vocab like 'verbatim'. There was also the format itself, those 140-character bursts of excitable information, that came crackling through the ether in what felt like real time, each one containing some jawdropping twist, or some witheringly dry all-caps commentary. But Bravo and her largely female behind-camera team (DP Ari Wegner, editor Joi McMillon and composer Mica Levi, whose score is unusually gentle, marked with fairytale-ish glissandos) find ingenious ways to mimic the woozy, sometimes surreal, but often hilarious rollercoaster ride that was this (heavily fictionalized) trip to Florida, so that 'Zola' lands somewhere on the glitter-neon spectrum between 'Spring Breakers' and 'Hustlers' -- which is to say: it’s pretty much a blast, albeit a thin one."
Jessica Kiang, The Playlist
"Most likely in reference to the story’s social-media origins, a digital tweeting noise pings every so often (punctuating composer Mica Levi’s characteristically abstract, already synthesized soundscape) as if to underscore the details that were true -- or else, backed by what Zola had shared on social media. Paige plays Zola with a fair sense of skepticism, pantomiming her discomfort/distrust every time she cuts her eyes or gives Stefani a glance that says, 'Does it look like I was born yesterday?' Whether you call it spontaneous or naive, if the offer had been a good idea, we wouldn’t be talking about it today."
