Sauf le respect que je vous dois

I have no idea what this movie is, and I’m not very familiar with Dario Marianelli, which is why I’m currently listening to this not-to-be-released score at the French website Cinezik, with their cool little Radioblog app. Why? Because it’s there, dammit.

Excuse me as I walk down memory lane again… but in the early days of film music on the Internet, I had hoped that this is how it would evolve - with more sounds and interactivity. Oddly enough we have only gotten stuff like podcasts in the last year, which doesn’t make sense because anyone could have made audio commentary recordings 10 years ago.

Getting back to the Marianelli music, I don’t think anyone would run out and buy this if it were on CD, unless it was differently edited together. It’s very much “background music,” save maybe the fourth cue, “Un apres-midi avec Simon,” which is pleasant in a very low-key way, and “La voie ferree.” On second thought, maybe this music isn’t best heard coming from a computer speaker.
