5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent soundtrack befitting an excellent film, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Surviving Picasso (1996 Film) (Audio CD)

Picasso's art exemplified the often chaotic nature of his emotions and, in turn, the 20th Century. The soundtrack to "Surviving Picasso" is brooding and dark at times. However, it is exactly what the film needs to convey it turbulent message. See the film, and listen to the soundtrack. Picasso would have approved.

While the movie "Surviving Picasso" was not meant to be a factual work regarding the Maestro himself and was more focussed on Francoise's inner struggles, the soundtrack beautifully expresses each character's essence as portrayed in the movie...the ebb and flow of passion and desire, the suffocating swirl of being adored as never before but only as a fleeting moment that repeats itself over and over. The sad trumpet solos, the waning cellos, the majesty of the prossession in the final song giving way to breaking free with the knowledge that love is strong but self-preservation triumphs.
