Music reviews of Youth Without Youth
Music Review: I prefer the soundtrack to the film
Rating: 5 Stars
I enjoyed the soundtrack to this movie more than the movie itself. A gorgeous album, filled with haunting and exotic themes. I like the cimbalom (hammered dulcimer) in particular - it gives the score a unique feel. It appears on the tracks "Youth without Youth", "Malta", "Farewell", and others. Lush and memorable.
Description of Youth Without Youth
Music composed by OSVALDO GOLIJOV This is the first soundtrack created by Osvaldo Golijov, "the composer of the moment" (Boston Globe). His artistic partner is one of the legendary masters of cinema, Academy Award? winning director, Francis Ford Coppola. Their film, YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH, starring British actor Tim Roth, Romanian actress Alexandra Maria Lara and Swiss actor Bruno Ganz, was written, produced and directed by Coppola, marking his return to personal filmmaking. The screenplay is adapted from a novella by the controversial Romanian fiction writer, philosopher and religious historian Mircea Eliade. Academy Award? nominee Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Rob Roy) plays Dominic Matei, a professor whose life changes after a cataclysmic incident during the dark years prior to World War II. Becoming a fugitive, he is pursued through far-flung locations including Romania, Switzerland, Malta and India. "I was excited to discover in this tale by Eliade," Coppola has said, "the key themes that I would hope to understand better: time, consciousness and the dream-like nature of reality. For me this is indeed a return to the ambitions I had for my work in cinema as a student." Featuring a beautiful, nostalgic melody that permeates the entire film, Golijov's score, recorded in Bucharest by the Bucharest Metropolitan Orchestra and conducted by Radu Popa, displays all the characteristics for which he has been praised ("...thoughtful and instinctive, esoteric and accessible, unfailingly haunting and stimulating" --Gramophone) while also revealing a new facet of his artWhile Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov has become the darling of classical venues over the world with the evening-length works Ainadamar and La Pasi?n seg?n San Marcos, this rich score clearly indicates that he's also going to give Philip Glass a run for his money in the classy-soundtrack department. For starters, Youth Without Youth offers a lot more variety than Glass usually comes up with. Since Francis Ford Coppola's movie is based on a novella by Romania's Mircea Eliade and is set in the 1930s, Golijov superbly suggests a moody, mysterious, highly dramatic Mitteleuropa--at times you feel like you're listening to a classic Hollywood score from the 1940s or 1950s, as if Max Steiner had hooked up with some gypsies. (Weirdly, "Malta," co-written with Arturo Castro, also brings to mind "Maybe This Time" from Cabaret.) Crucial to Golijov's sonic palette here are the dulcimer-like cimbalom (played by K?lm?n Balogh) and the fiddle-like kam?nche (played by Kayhan Kalhor). Balogh and Michael Ward-Bergeman, on accordion, face off fiercely on "Refugee," for instance. A couple of crackly songs, "O Alba Tigareta Parfumata" and "Noapte Buna Mimi," round off the CD, as if emerging from a jukebox lost in the rubble of old Bucharest. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
