The Music of Coppola's Tetro

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An eclectic blend of symphonic jazz, classical and Argentine music, the soundtrack to Coppola's experimental film is mildly addictive. It unfolds like a concept album with its recurring theme pressing on throughout, yet it's the sly left turns that keeps it from becoming just a one note affair. Like the film itself, it's a mood piece. And while not as daring as Stewart Copeland's SDTK for Coppola's film of S.E. Hinton's Rumble Fish, Tetro does take the listener to visceral heights in a similar way. Osvaldo Golijov was an inspired choice and is responsible for half the film's success. A filmmaker reborn and a musician to light the way with sound."
