I watched Shutter Island last night. Pretty good film.
The soundtrack really caught my attention though. I thought it was really good how the composer had created a score that incorporates elements of classical music that was being composed roughly at the time the film was set (mid-20th century). I heard bits that reminded me of Ligeti and Penderecki, a prepared piano a la Cage, Feldman style hints. I then watched the end credits to see who had composed this great pastiche, only to find that the soundtrack was not original but compiled by Robbie Robertson (of The Band) from the actual composers I thought were being imitated and some I didn't pick up on but whom I also like. Scelsi, John Adams, Schnittke, Ingram Marshall, Lou Harrison, Brian Eno. Unusually for Scorsese, the only diagetic music (apart from fleeting snatches) was Mahler's Piano Quartet in Am which is mentioned in the story.
If anything the music at times was distracting as I kept thinking 'I'm sure I've heard this before'.
Recommended for people struggling to get into 20th century classical composition.
