Score: A Film Music Documentary
Music is an essential component of most films, contributing emotion and nuance while remaining mostly inaudible to the spectator. Mr. Schrader shines a light on the underappreciated art of cinema composition by interviewing the field's most renowned practitioners, from Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman to Quincy Jones and Randy Newman, on their thought processes and methods of creation. In addition to charting major advancements in the chronology of film music and analyzing some of cinema's most renowned soundtracks, 'Score' is an aural valentine for film enthusiasts.
