Music reviews of Frank And Jesse (1994 Film)

Music Review: Hollywood's best kept secret....
Rating: 4 Stars

McKenzie who is reknowned for orchestrating other composers (Barry, Elfman et al)is also a respected composer in his own right. He articulates memorable melodies and is able to subtly weave ethnicity when required.

The film portrays the brothers within a duality of compassion and ferocity. As such, McKenzie brings the tender with the triumphant. In the former, with cues such as 'Main Title' and 'Marauding' the heroics are conveyed through full string and brass orchestras (actually this is a small orchestra that has been overlayed). In the latter, its a flute or guitar that offers the tender - if not the tragic. Elements of bluegrass are also procured but not to the point of being overbearing - the subtlety of cultural heritage being one of McKenzie's great skills

Overall, its a wonderful mix of thematic cues full of emotional impact and that's the reason why some have been played alongside Wimbledon montages and at the Atlanta Olympics.

Other works such as 'Durango', 'The Disapperance of Garcia Lorca', and 'Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hide' are also highly recommended.
