The whole movie is poem. The music of the movie is enormously poetic. Time magazine hailed HAS Karaindrou Eleni (the deal) as "Greece's Most eleoquent living composer". Eleni Karaindrou's simple, ethereal melodies are so infectious and sublime Profoundly That Easily They stand by Themselves, unencumbered by visual images. This is smart contemporary Greek music, music based along the lines of classical ideology mixed in with traditional instruments, with Elements of Greek folk music yet still very much modern. Anyone who is aware of Theo Angelopolous' movies will know de son use of long panoramic shots Taking in the geography of the Greek landscapes. Such As this score is a wonderful accompaniment, giving the listener an acute sensation of time, depth and distance. The quality of the CD is excellent and I would highly reccomend to see the movie as well.
