Music Reviews of Knife in the Water - Soundtracks from Roman Polanski's Movies
Music Review: Spare, solemn soundtrack music, innately chilling...
Rating: 3 Stars
Krzysztof Komeda--aka Komeda or Christopher Komeda--became a good friend of filmmaker Roman Polanski, and he was the young, green director's first choice to score his early masterpiece, "A Knife in the Water", plus suites from two little-known films, "Two Men and a Wardrobe" and "When Angels Fall", all included here. "Angels" actually has the best music of the three, with haunting bells chiming and soldiers scurrying about confusedly, fearfully, their chants echoing in a dense, opaque din. "A Knife in the Water" has some lively passages, scored with jaunty mock-happiness, but subtly transcends into a gloomy cloudburst. The CD also features a CD-Rom interview with Komeda's widow, an intelligent, interesting Polish woman with a smile of remembrance on her face, who fills us in on the background of her husband's musical history.
