I'm very lucky because I was part of a fantastic group of people that made a fantastic film. It's called "movie" because it's a moving film. I'm really grateful, above all to Joe Wright, the director, to have included me in this fantastic group of gifted people. I'm very grateful to my good friends for supporting me through lots of things, through these years, and my family, who I love very much. My girls, and my father and my mother. Thank you for passing on a very deep and strong love of music.

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."
