First, I love the movie. The story behind is really exciting and full of contents. There's passion, anger, emotion....

It really made me think! Leo is at the top in this movie!

When I bought this soundtrack I did not expect such a great score. As someone else before said this is not a "relaxing" score....this is is a compilation of songs which make you move your mind and think about life.

This review is from: Total Eclipse (Audio CD)

This music takes you back to bohemian 1870s Paris Using good simple catchy harmonies, Polish composer Jan Kaczmarek evokes the right moods, whether it's lively themes to go with the scene of people dancing in a bar, whether it's the suspense of whether Verlaine will abandon his wife and her mother on the train, or whether it's Verlaine at the end of the film heartbreakingly reminiscing about Rimbaud. I especially like the dark cello tones and lively violins underlying much of the work. This is one of my favorite soundtracks which I like to return to from time to time. It reminds me of Kaczmarek's fellow countryman Wojciech Kilar's Dracula sountrack. Anyway, this CD is a rare treat. I couldn't recommend it more.
