beauty's where you find it

i can forgive the designer self-referenciality and the product placement for the hit i get off

the Holiday

because:
yes, Jude Law is stunning, and we saw it from Shopping onwards (another film with an excellent OST, btw - not lydon... who was it now? red snapper?)

you know i use google and spellchecker to correct and edit these blog posts, but you'll never know how much is just off the top of my head, and while i have been watching The Holiday, (Nancy Meyers - Something's Gotta Give, John Krazinski - Away We Go)

Hans Zimmer of Driving Miss Daisy fame (self-referenced in The Holiday)


John Powell did Robots... anyway)

there is a particularly relaxed piece on the s/track which is entitled, For Nancy. Nancy Meyers, the director and writer in question, also wrote a film me and my Mum loved, called Baby Boom, with Diane Keaton and Sam Shepard... and a young Chris Noth, for spotters.

i always notice the score.

one of my new favourites is someone named Rene Aubry's work on The Gruffalo, short CGI film which I loved and watch with my 3-year-old a lot.

the music is quite singularly beautiful...

stunning

and here on itunes for under $11... must get a new iTunes card

and i am always impressed by not only how much it contributes to the film's sum total of beauty (which is quite a lot, when it comes to The Gruffalo)

but also how much it is a language of mine.

films, music, art, production, placement, the language that film uses to tell you the story beyond the dialogue.

the Non-Diegetic sound :)
