レビュー (Amazon)The ever-dependable Coen Brothers come up trumps again with
The Man Who Wasn't There, the follow-up to their hugely successful film
O Brother Where Art Thou. And while the latter had huge crossover potential on the soundtrack front, with its potted history of early American music, this time around it's a more subdued and subtle affair, just like the film it accompanies. Long-time collaborator Carter Burwell neatly blends his compositions in with those of more familiar composers such as Beethoven and Mozart, the music being a mixture of background atmosphere for the slowly played out scenes, or, as in the case of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.8 in C minor (the "Pathetique"), the focus of Ed Crane's interest in young pianist Birdy. For the most part, the music is fairly minimal, stripped down piano pieces which perfectly suit the exquisitely langorously paced film noir they accompany. "Nirdlinger's Swing" does stand out as something of a sore thumb, underpinning as it does the central party scene, but it does little to detract from the delicious classical music on offer here. Arguably Burwell's finest hour since
Fargo. --
