The Unreliable Narrator
Hirokazu Kore-eda's film The Truth appeared this week, with music by Alexi Aigui. That's a fact. Matthew Sweet looks at scores for films in which certainty is not always so clear.
Hirokazu Kore-eda's film 'The Truth' appeared this week, it stars Catherine Deneuve, Juliet Binoche and Ethan Hawke with a new score by Alexi Aigui. That much is fact. Matthew Sweet features music for films that explore the notion that sometimes the stories we are presented with are very far from the truth.
Music in the programme is taken from the films 鈥楾he Innocents鈥�, 鈥楾he Cabinet of Doctor Caligari鈥�, 鈥楪one Girl鈥�, 鈥楾he Girl On The Train鈥�, 鈥楻ashamon鈥�, 鈥楾he Lone Ranger鈥�, 鈥楢marcord鈥�, 鈥楧etour鈥�, 鈥楶ossessed鈥�, 鈥楽tage Fright鈥�, 鈥楳emento鈥�, 鈥楴otes On A Scandal鈥� and 鈥楢merican Psycho鈥�. Plus, of course, music from the new film.
