"a" works
- "Echoes" String Quartet
- North by Northwest
- Psycho
I still like the arpeggios and ominous woodwinds of North by Northwest. And Psycho continues to be eerie. Echoes is a pleasant change from explicit scenes and suites, but still familiar, episodic and moody.
"other" works
- The Day the Earth Stood Still. Fahrenheit 451. Gulliver's Travels. Journey to the Center of the Earth. The Man Who Knew Too Much. Marnie. The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. Souvenir do Voyage. Taxi Driver. Torn Curtain. Vertigo.
I love (most of) the Hitchcock movies. Apparently I don't like (most of) the Hitchock scores, even those whose music I remember greatly setting the tone of the film e.g. Fahrenheit 451. And the non-Hitchcock scores are particularly uncompelling and un-beautiful. They may be the opposite of "astylism." There is a film remake of Journey this month. Finally, while Vertigo is one of the best Hitchcock films, the melody wasn't so interesting although possibly I was thinking too much about Kim Novak...
