I have received a couple of email about my failure to mention Ludovic Bource's award-winning score in today's review of The Artist.
Didn't I like it? Am I joining the Kim Novac Moral Indignation Squad over the "plagiarism" from Vertigo?
No indignation. No dislike.
It is a marvelous score. I love film scores in general, and this one is excellent. It also bears the additional weight of being a Marcel Marceau for the lack of dialog. I simply ran out of space in the review.
But I will let you make up your own mind. This piece accompanies a bit of comedic business with actors flubbing their roles while a relationship starts building between the older male star and the young actress on her way up. A piece of film that will prove to be a pivotal plot prop.
Enjoy. I did.
