Matthew Sweet talks to Clint Mansell, the composer of Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, Black Swan, Loving Vincent and Rebecca about his music for film.
Matthew Sweet talks to Coventry born Clint Mansell, founder member of the group Pop Will Eat Itself, and one of the most distinctive composers of modern film. His credits include 'Requiem for a Dream', 'The Fountain', 'Black Swan' 'Loving Vincent', 'Rebecca' and many others, including his latest score for Ben Wheatley's new film 'In The Earth'. which is released this week. Clint talks with Matthew about his approach to writing for film, the people who have inspired him, and his regular working relationships with directors Ben Wheatley and Darren Aronofsky. He also speaks about working with the film director Duncan Jones on his sci-fi masterpiece 'Moon' and how significant this was for him, not least because he had idolised Jones's father, David Bowie. And Clint Mansell speaks candidly and movingly about the sudden death of his girlfriend and how this impacted his music for the film High Rise.
