All my traditional festive Oscar week posts will be up over on Anomalous Material this year and so Cinema Romantico will focus on re-imagining the Oscar category of Best Score/Song as if it was one combined category and I and I alone was judge and jury in regards to the five nominees. And so on a daily basis this week I will treat you to one of the "nominees", the fifth and final entry doubling as the "winner".
Enjoy! I hope.
I love this theme for "Beginners" because it's melancholy and hopeful at once and can be just a bit more of one or the other depending on the context and your mood, which, in a way, is how the whole film - this wonderful, wonderful film - feels.
So much about this film is good (and ignored). The music is just so melancholy yet sweet, and in touch with its film.
ReplyDeleteI loved the theme song to Beginners! Thanks for including this - it would definitely make my list if I were in charge of the category. Very cool idea, Nick!
