Video Description:
Bernard Herrmann: Music for the Movies
A film by Joshua Waletzky (French and English
language tracks)
From Citizen Kane to Taxi Driver, Bernard Herrmann composed over
50 film scores. He is, however, best known for his long,
fruitful collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock in films such as
Psycho, Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, North by Northwest,
and others. A fiery, romantic perfectionist, Bernard Herrmann
had a gift for writing timeless, simple, refined musical themes.
Illustrated by a number of film scenes and interviews with his
friends and collaborators, this portrait helps us to better
understand Bernard Herrmann's immense contribution to film
scores and to cinema.
Contains interviews with Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein,
Martin Scorsese, Claude Chabrol, David Raskin, etc.
Bonus features:
The Hollywood Sound (85 min)
A film by Joshua Waletzky (English version, French subtitles)
From the same director, this film looks back on the two 2 main
schools of film score composers during the Golden Age of
Hollywood: the Europeans (Max Steiner and Franz Waxman) who drew
heavily on the rich tradition of Romanticism, and their American
counterparts (David Raskin, Jerome Moross and Alex North) whose
scores were influenced by jazz and folk music. A variety of
scenes from GONE WITH THE WIND, REBECCA, BIG COUNTRY and A
STREET NAMED DESIRE illustrate these two trends.
