レビュー (Amazon) Director Tod Williams (The Adventure of Sebastian Cole) has drastically cut 'n' pasted novelist John Irving's A Year as a Widow into a challenging examination of love, loss and troubled character whose tone lies somewhere between The Ice Storm and In the Bedroom. Williams' troubled interior landscapes inspire Brazilian composer Marcelo Zarvos to an understated, if emotionally compelling gem of a score here, one that treats the film's melodrama with measured respect and a warm, invitingly human sense of scale. The composer's cues lean towards a small string ensemble, seasoning those mature, autumnal arrangements with spare, haunting solo piano passages ("A Sound Like Someone"), gentle harp flourishes ("Orient Point," "Summer Job") and a halting, playful take on the minuet ("Gin Lane," "Eduardo Gets Fired"). The result evokes a cross between Rachel Portman's own delicate scoring sensibilities and the introspective work of Elmer Bernstein on Far From Heaven and its own 50's inspirations, like To Kill a Mockingbird), yet imbued with a stately neo-classicism that is all Zarvos' own. --Jerry McCulley |
