Beautiful music that mad the movie complete,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lolita: Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
There are sparatic 40's style gems amongst the most beautiful new classical music I think I have ever heard as a soundtrack. Track 20 'ladies and gentelmen of the jurry' is a slow, intense theme which will have you thinking about it for months after listening to it. There are a few classical ones that you may skip over because of their direct tie with the movie (they don't really work just as songs.) Overall, the movie was a beautiful rendition of a book of genius, and this soundtrack does both justice.

Will reduce you to tears,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lolita: Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
As you've noted from the other commentaries, the "classic" songs from other artists can jar the Morricone mood, but this is the most sensual music he's ever written, even better than Cinema Paridiso, Love Affair, or The Mission, my other favorites. We can only hope his son Andrea continues the magnificent output after Ennio can do so no longer. Meanwhile, long live Ennio. This is elegant, wistful, understated brilliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant-the best film score of all time,
By adriana "alisa" (Los Angeles,CA,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lolita: Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This is my favorite film score of all time-I literally kept watching the movie because of this score.No, not literally, I watched the movie, and was slightly moved by the movie. ONLY because of this score.The music in the film is so stunning, so brilliant and haunting and melodically luscious, so emotional and full of impact, that in can drive on to tears. It is highyl nuanced, and is a presence in the film within itself-it's completely nuanced and never goes for overdrive.It's subtle but stunning beyond all description.It's melancholic and wistful,and evokes great feelings of passion.If you like James Horner, or Hans Zimmer tripe, well then quit reading this reviews, because you will surely find no appreciation for the pure and intense melodic beauty of this soundtrack.If a soundtrack can take a borderline bad film and make me keep watching it, allow to be even moved at some point, you know it's got to be pretty brilliant.I have always appreciated the power of music in a film, but never fully understood it's capacity until I came to this.I've never before stayed with a movie only for it's music-but that's exactly what I did here.Ennio Morricone is a genius-I'd watch a blue screen with his music for three hours if I had the opportunity.
