A Potpourri of Vestiges Feature
With the Oscar season around the corner, we have a chance to look back at the best films and documentaries that artists have given us over the years. While everyone’s bites their nails for the announcement of the best cast, direction and cinematography, we often forget the one medium that binds all this brilliance to give us 120 minutes of pure, unadulterated marvel.
Music has the power to move you, two notes can
send a shiver down your spine, make you feel terror or love at first sight.
We’re going to take you down memory lane with films that were nominated for
their breathtaking soundtrack over the years. Sit back, Netflix and relax with
the best of what creative minds put together for your enjoyment.
Argo
From the man who brought us brilliant music in
‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’, ‘The King’s Speech’ and ‘Imitation Game’, Alexandre
Desplat does it again with ‘Argo’. The Academy nominated the French film
composer for the soundtrack inspired by Iranian instruments, that added flavour
to an excellent storyline and direction.
Inception
The maestro Hans Zimmer has blessed earth with
yet another gem with the soundtrack of Inception. A sound engineer of stellar
class, Zimmer loves to experiment and dissect notes to create new sounds which
then become this trademark. With ‘Inception’, he proves yet again, that he is
the genius we need.
The Adventures of Tintin
A huge part of your childhood will consist of
John Williams’ musical direction and reading Tintin comics through the night.
From making you re-live feelings one ‘ouch’ at a time, Williams has given us
yet another masterpiece with this jazzy and energetic soundtrack. Though this
may not have been his best, the Academy nomination was very much deserved.
Django Unchained
The music for this film is a bowl of familiarity
and goodness. By using a variety of genres, resting heavily on the spaghetti
western soundtrack, Ennio Morricone brings the most popular names in the music
industry like Rick Ross, Anthony Hamilton and John Legend to seal the deal to
this Tarantino film.
Gravity
British film composer, Steven Price has directed the sound for the
most well-known films in Hollywood like ‘Suicide Squad’, ‘Fury’ and ‘The
World’s End’. The solo violin gives the movie a hauntingly beautiful, capturing
the essence of space. When there’s a lot of panic and mayhem in the film, the
music is what sets the calm atmospheric sound.
Carol
Carter Burwell composed, produced and
orchestrated the soundtrack of the film ‘Carol’. Classical instruments like the
soulful piano and violin keeps the soundtrack light and delicate, perfectly
capturing the romance between Carol and Therese. The original score for ‘Carol’
soothes, and soars leading to its win.
