Here you can read selections of
review of ATONEMENT mentioning Dario Marianelli's score. For
more quotations, check today's Film Score Daily.
"Two characters make significant use of
a typewriter ó one is an aspiring playwright, the other a
yearning rural swain -- but the sound of the machine is
co-opted by Dario Marianelli, who wrote the movie's score and
who conjoins the clack-clacking of mechanical composition with
the steady plink of a repeated piano note. At a climactic
moment Brenda Blethyn, who can be as subtle an actress as Mr.
Marianelli is a composer, leaps screaming from the darkness
and begins beating on the hood of a car with an umbrella, a
tocsin that joins the plink and the clack in a small symphony
of literal-minded irrelevance."
A.O. Scott, New
York Times
"As I said, there are many accomplishments in
this movie, from the character-defining costumes to the
breathtaking cinematography, not to mention Dario Marinelli's
lush score, which takes its percussive beats from the clacking
of Briony's typewriter keys."
Lou Lumenick, New
York Post
"Wright attempts to compensate for the growing
slackness with mighty, Oscar-ish flourishes of music, sound
(the banging of a manual typewriter sounds like a gunshot,
which is probably the point) and photography, the highlight
being Robbie's surreal journey through the confusion of the
massive Dunkirk evacuation."
Gary Thompson,
Philadelphia Daily News
"So it falls to composer Dario Marianelli to
supply the course-correcting clackety bits that shore up the
subtext. It makes sense that the clicks and pings embedded in
the melodious musical themes arrive haltingly at first - in
imitation of a young typist's mechanical limitations."
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"Almost the first sound we hear in Joe
Wright's 'Atonement' is the tap of typewriter keys. Soon, the
tapping becomes regular, like drumbeats, and it sets the tempo
for the music that comes surging in."
Anthony
Lane, The New Yorker
"And where 'Pride & Prejudice' took a more
realistic look to [Jane] Austen's universe, 'Atonement'
consciously evokes the acting conventions and romantic cliches
of '30s/'40s melodramas -- from the cut-glass British accents,
through Dario Marinaelli's romantic, kinetic score, to the
starchy period look."
Derek Elley, Variety
"Dario Marianelli's evocative score, with
typewriter keys used as percussion, adds greatly to the film's
emotional power."
Ray Bennett, Hollywood
Reporter

Here is the brief info about the score
from the press statement:
"
Academy
Award-nominated composer Dario Marianelli (Pride and
Prejudice, The Brothers Grimm, V for Vendetta) has crafted one
of his most beautiful and emotionally charged scores for the
British drama BEYOND THE GATES, known outside the USA as
SHOOTING DOGS. Scheduled for release on October 9, 2007,
MovieScore Media proudly presents the original soundtrack
album from the film, featuring Marianelli’s orchestral score
in conjunction with a number of African songs performed by the
Chorale de Kigali and the Voices of Kicukiro in Rwanda.
BEYOND THE
GATES, starring Oscar nominated actor John Hurt, Hugh Dancy
and Dominique Horwitz, is veteran director Michael
Caton-Jones’ very strong film about the horrendous genocide in
Rwanda in 1994, where 800,000 people were killed in 100 days.
Composer Dario Marianelli, who is no stranger to the genre
having scored Michael Winterbottom’s much acclaimed In This
World in 2002, says that the music had to connect with the
story in “a very direct and truthful way”. While doing
research for the score, Marianelli discovered that at the time
of the genocide a lot of Tutsis were listening to the songs of
Cecile Kayirebwa, who had become the voice of their plight.
“The power of the images, and of the truth behind them, was
crying for something simple and direct, and I thought that if
I could find the right kind of woman’s voice, it could have a
very direct emotional impact,” Dario Marianelli explains. The
voice of Cecile Kayirebwa was the “hook” needed as to anchor
the score in the real suffering of the period.
Under it’s original title, SHOOTING DOGS,
the film has been recently released theatrically in countries
such as Germany, Spain and Japan. For the US market, the film
is released as BEYOND THE GATES on DVD on September 18, 2007,
by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
BEYOND THE GATES
marks MovieScore Media’s second Dario Marianelli album (the
other one was the label’s first entry in the ‘Discovery
Collection’: I Capture the Castle, MMS07004)."

7. 2006: Dario Marianelli visited Soncinemad film
music festival and participated in discussions with fans and
CD signing. You can check 2 of photos from the festival with
Dario hereand
here and. Some comments from lucky
visitors of the festival follow:
"I enjoyed a lot
the seminar day with the conferences with Chris Young, Hans
Zimmer & Harry Gregson-Williams and Dario Marianelli.
(...) Dario Marianelli was also very kind and humble. I
interviewed him in Plaza Mayor while drinking a cocktail and
he was really nice and open. His masterclass conference
moderated by Mikael Carlsson was also one of the best moments
of the day."
"Finally, there was
Mikael's interview with Dario Marianelli - and this was a
great way to finish off the series of seminars. I'd had a
chance to speak with Marianelli earlier in the day and I'd
mentioned that I hoped that he'd take the opportunity to play
something on the piano. At the time, he said that he was
unsure whether he would or not. But I'm glad to say that
Mikael made things so relaxed for Dario that when the
opportunity came, Dario played some music from The Brothers
Grimm. From what people said at the festival, Dario was
gobsmacked at what he saw - so many people taking an active
interest in his music and he was very happy to speak to anyone
who had anything to say or ask about his work. Unfortunately,
as far as I could tell, only Dario and Chris Young made the
effort to attend the CD signing sessions but I think that
everyone appreciated the effort they made in
attending." |
