Music reviews of Interview With The Vampire: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: Haunting, Beautiful Perfection
Rating: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of film scores, and I don't think I've ever heard a score that so perfectly captures the mood of a film as well as this one--before or since. Every single track is a brilliant interpretation of the deep range of emotions in this film, lovingly depicting the feelings of the characters: from Lestat's whimsy decadance, to Claudia's rage, Louis' despair at the monster he's become. The haunting baroque-influenced songs are simply beautiful, and do a wonderful job of setting the atmosphere of 18th century New Orleans, and then 19th century Paris. Elliot Goldenthal is a talented composer, and this is quite simply some of his best work.I think people who criticize the Guns and Roses cover of Sympathy For the Devil as being out of place are utterly missing the point of the song and why it was in the movie. It's the perfect cap to the soundtrack, for one simple reason: the lyrics are completely, utterly Lestat. Being a huge fan of the Vampire Chronicles I always hoped they'd use the song in a movie based on one of the books. Context is everything, and when viewed within the proper context it makes perfect sense. It's clearly meant to represent a transition to a new phase in Lestat's life, the evolution of the old world aristocrat into modern rock star, and Neil Jordan even says as much in his Director's Commentary on the DVD. The final scene of Lestat driving over the Golden Gate Bridge, having just bitten Daniel Malloy, is nowhere in the novel but Jordan included it in the movie to give a taste of where Lestat was heading in the future. It's fine enough not to like the song on its own merits (personally, I love the GnR version), but I think people need to understand *why* the song was included in the movie and thus the soundtrack before they jump all over it.
