Near the end of New Years Day I watched the greater portion of the Tilda Swinton Movie I am Love. (Which I’ve wanted to watch for a while – based on the fact that the movie poster is so awesome). The movie was okay; a little slow for my taste, but the acting was phenomenal and subtle. What really struck me was the music.
The scores for the film were written by modern composer John Adams, and his work here is stunning: subtle, rhythmic, and contemplative, tailored perfectly to the film like a nice italian 3-piece suit.
I’m not saying you have to watch the movie, but you should at least give the sound track a try.
