Score – Eine Geschichte der Filmmusik: Directed by Matt Schrader. With Marco Beltrami, Jon Burlingame, Leonard Maltin, Bill Field. A look at the cinematic art of the film musical score, and the artists who create them.

“Score is a documentary that aims to highlight an important, yet often overlooked aspect of films: their soundtrack. The documentary takes the subject on mostly in chronological order, from early piano scores to the modern marrying of orchestral and electronic mediums. Along the way, the filmmakers interview film historians, directors, and the composers themselves. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt really is amazing to witness how much emotional impact a filmu0026#39;s score can have, down to little details like the volume of a french horn. Though I donu0026#39;t think I will ever truly understand how one creates this music, this is undoubtedly a worthwhile film for any movie-lover. My only disappointment is that the filmmakers were unable to interview the great John Williams (though he was covered extensively).”
