Music reviews of V for Vendetta

Music Review: Great movie, great soundtrack
Rating: 5 Stars

I love this movie. What is it about a man in a mask and cape that really turns me on? And the fact that the mask is frozen and yet the actor still manages to convey extreme emotions...incredible!

So of course I had to buy the soundtrack, and it is wonderful, very evocative of the movie. My favorite pieces are Valerie and Evey Reborn, followed by The Dominoes Fall (also favorite scenes of mine from the movie). There is only one track I consistently skip, and that is Bird Gurhl by Anthony and the Johnsons. Just hate the quavering vocal!

Description of V for Vendetta

Hot off two critical successes (Pride & Prejudice and The Brothers Grimm), Dario Marianelli went all dark and moody with his score for James McTeigue's dystopian thriller V for Vendetta. Marianelli occasionally bursts out with powerful cues such as "Governments Should Be Afraid of Their People," but he mostly focuses on building a sense of pervasive dread and growing tension. Interspersed among his cues are three songs which in the film are part of V's personal jukebox of "forbidden" tunes; all three are intimate and lovely, and it's striking to see how well contemporary artists like Cat Power and Antony & the Johnsons sit next to Julie London's 1950s croon. Finally, many viewers of the movie have been struck by the powerful setting of the final scene to Tchaikovsky's memorable 1812 Overture. It's hard not to be. That piece is actually incorporated in "Knives and Bullets (and Cannons Too)"; the track starts with a nice-enough dramatic build-up by Marianelli, but when the overture (originally written to celebrate the Russian victory against Napoleon's troops) comes in, marking the disc's final two minutes, its sheer power and grandiose bravura make everything that preceded sound diffident. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
