film review
Bluntly
speaking? Truman Capote was an incredible piece of human artwork; an American
original. As is this soundtrack which combines Capote himself with composer Mychael
Danna's intuitive score.
Many are now revisiting this talented writer thanks to Philip Seymour Hoffman's
portrayal; firstly the art-house crowd, and now thanks to The Golden Globe win,
folks who thought Capote was a cactus hippies smoked may venture forth to the
mega-plex… Composer
Mycheal Danna was given the duty of bringing the biopic film's music score to
life. Some genius decided to combine Truman's spoken word recordings of In Cold
Blood with Danna's subtle notes and viola audio bliss! Picture
if you will, Capote's verbal ballet telling his tale. When his description of
fields of woe and suburban inner workings subsides, Danna picks up and guides
us from the segment to the next reading. This
has been done a few times (like with Bukowski and Stemple)
and I for one can not get enough. Heck, I'd have taken Hoffman reading Capote
- but we didn't have to. It's like taping an Orson Welles' film and playing it
in the car en route to some mundane gathering. Here it's the voice and eloquent
, perfectly descriptive tone that takes your imagination away. And, the original
artifact is always so much better than the replication - even though the replicator
did an exquisite job (here Philip).
Run to Amazon and get this cd - it's
pure nirvana on so many levels…buy
