The Reel Review
This is a long overdue documentary about the fascinating, behind-the-scenes process of creating iconic, goosebump-inducing film scores (James Bond, Jaws, Star Wars, Psycho, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark); the enormously talented, Oscar-winning composers responsible for them; and the clever directors who realize their critical importance to the success of their films.
The documentary traces the meticulous process and players involved in film scoring and even explores how film music triggers the release of dopamine in the brain – akin to chocolate and sex. Anyone who follows the Best Score category on Oscar night will recognize the big name composers here. If you love movies and you love music then you will ADORE this film music documentary.
