    Louisa May Alcott's classic tale "Little Women" is back on the big screen, in at least its fifth cinematic adaptation, this time in the confident hands of writer/director Greta Gerwig. She has assembled a magnificent cast, using a great script (that she wrote), and crafted a warm, superb movie that is absolutely one of 2019's best. For those unfamiliar, "Little Women" is about the March sisters: thei...

    Posted At: January 11, 2020 12:00 AM

    The 2019 version of Little Women is the eighth film adaptation of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott. I really enjoyed this coming-of-age film, mostly because of the genuine performances but also because these young women are so powerful, sensitive, smart and gentle. In an era of superheroes, galaxies and futuristic sci-fi films with special effects, this classic story reminds us of the power of good...

    Posted At: December 30, 2019 12:00 AM

    As Martin Scorsese once said, "Music and cinema fit together naturally. Because there's a kind of intrinsic musicality to the way moving images work when they're put together. It's been said that cinema and music are very close as art forms, and I think that's true." Indeed, the right piece of music–whether it's an original score or a carefully selected song–can do wonders...

  • Alexandre Desplat brings Bowie-Mozart mix to 'Little Women' score / DEADLINE Q&A
    Posted At: December 23, 2019 12:00 AM

    On Greta Gerwig's Little Women, composer Alexandre Desplat was asked to bring a sense of vital modernity to a classic tale. When the two-time Oscar winner spoke with Gerwig about the film early on, he was met with a memorably bold and specific brief. "She said, ‘I'd like the score to be a mix of Mozart and David Bowie,'" Desplat recalls. "We're in the past, but without being heavy and dated, and br...

  • Alexandre Desplat 'Little Women' makes QUARTZ 'best 2019 film and TV scores for every mood'
    Posted At: December 18, 2019 12:00 AM

    2019 was another banner year for original film and television scores. If you're in need of some new music as the calendar shifts to 2020, start here. Because film scores are often steeped in big emotions (and rarely have lyrics that require your attention), they make for great music for working, working out, or studying. They're also versatile enough to listen to while you're commuting to or from the...

  • Film composers turn from the expected this season to find a unique sonic wavelength / Los Angeles Times
    Posted At: December 4, 2019 12:00 AM

    Conservative, conventional choices are nowhere to be found in the noteworthy scores of 2019. If anything binds the collection that follows, it's directors who were willing to take a wild chance or a road less traveled and composers who were up for the adventure. Certainly, a "Twilight Zone"-esque story about evil doppelgängers and a brash New York movie about a Jewish jeweler addicted to gambling do...

    Director Greta Gerwig stunned composer Alexandre Desplat with her initial request about what she was looking for in music for her new version of "Little Women": "Mozart meets David Bowie." The two-time Oscar winner ("Grand Budapest Hotel," "The Shape of Water") laughs about it now. "When I saw the film I understood what she meant," he says. "There is something pop in the way she has directed the acto...

  • Amid great change in animated filmmaking, music remains the constant / Animation Magazine
    Posted At: June 24, 2018 12:00 AM

    Probably no area of filmmaking has changed so much over time as animation, the art form having virtually reinvented itself many times over. Yet one aspect of it remains fixed: the importance of music. Once the province of specialized composers, such as Disney's Oliver Wallace, Warner Bros.' Carl Stalling and MGM's Scott Bradley, in recent years the animation industry has opened up to include A-list film ...

    The 90th Academy Awards took place March 4, and Oscars were given out to some of the favorites - but there were also some surprises. Jimmy Kimmel returned as the host, after hosting last year as well, and I thought he did a good job. He made some well-thought out remarks, and also mentioned the MeToo movement and Time's Up, which was great.  The awards show was good too. "The Shape of Water...

    Earlier this week, "The Shape of Water" garnered 13 Academy Award nominations including one in each of the six major categories, and after soaking in director Guillermo del Toro's lush and lovely film, I can understand why. The film is simply enchanting. The plot is evident to anyone who has seen the film's trailer or commercial for the film. A cleaning lady at a secret government facility falls in love ...

    While the Golden Globes has an uneven record in previewing the Oscar winners in the top categories, it does give us great insight into one of the below-the-line races: Best Original Score. In the past decade, the two groups have differed only twice. In 2014, when the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. members opted for Alex Ebert's score for "All is Lost," while the academy awarded Steven Price for "Gravity,"...

  • How Alexandre Desplat composed in the Shape of Water / KUSC: Los Angeles
    Posted At: November 28, 2017 12:00 AM

    Alexandre Desplat has been writing music for films since the late 1980s, but his invasion of Hollywood began in 2003 with Girl with a Pearl Earring, which introduced his hypnotic, Gallic, and flute-friendly style. Since then, the French composer-a skilled flute-player himself, obsessed with film music since he was a young boy-has become one of the finest and most coveted composers in town. He's now the g...
