Review

A highly monotonous score, that depicts the uniformity of the society and melancholic mood presented in the film very well. Outside the context of the movie, however, and this is the point of view I rate from, the music is almost meaningless. It lacks identifiable and interesting themes, nice melodies and an elaborate instrumentation. The strings become boring very soon.

I bought the CD solely because of the passage heard in the film when the main character and his brother swim in the ocean. On the CD it occurs in the tracks “The One Moment” and “The Other Side” and it is the most enjoyable part of this CD. I knew it already when watching the movie on video because it was re-used by the German television soap opera “Verbotene Liebe” (Forbidden Love) for underscoring special emotional moments. It might be a coincidence, but it seems Andreas Kasulke and Geo Schaller, who are responsible for the background music in that soap opera, were also “inspired” by certain cues in the scores of Romeo and Juliet (by Craig Armstrong) and The Fifth Element (by Eric Serra). They have an admirable taste!
