.Thomas is the son of the great Alfred Newman (who scored Citizen Kane and Modern Times), and of course, cousin to Randy Newman.
He has a very distinctive style that just shines in this movie. "The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix" isn't exactly "easy listening" but the rest of it is just marvelous.
If that's a little to intense, there's always Finding Nemo,
another great score of his.
Oh it's a very good score! Have you ever heard the score to The General's Daughter? That's one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI've heard it but I don't recall what I thought about it. Is that Newman?
ReplyDeleteA lot of great scores are the ones you don't notice.
It's Carter Burwell. Very powerful and moving. I like the song And She Began to Lie.
ReplyDeleteYes! I do remember that!
ReplyDeleteFavorite Carter Burwell, though? The Hudsucker Proxy, even though I think he lifted it from somewhere else. (Hey, genius steals, right?)
