About Release:
A small independent film about two friends brought together and then torn apart is the basis for this week’s featured record, a soundtrack by newly minted film composer Max Richter. That the film saw little to no release in the country last year is of no consequence; Richter already enjoyed massive exposure from his score to the highly-acclaimed film Waltz With Bashir by the time Henry May Long came and went. It is indeed too bad though, because while Bashir’s electronic tinge was as unique as it was dramatic, the quiet and sad piano-based work on this other soundtrack, which just saw release via Mute Song International, is what will hopefully catapult Richter into the elite arena of film score composers on a wider scale. The melodies wilt and trickle along with just enough (never too much) string or woodwind accompaniment, making even the emotional and reflective parts of a movie that us here in the upper Midwest may not see until it’s out on Netflix resonate in our eardrums. A track from the instant soundtrack classic is awaiting you via the nowlikephotographs podcast.
