"Whoever has read Henry Charriere's best selling book- Papilon will sure love this soundtrack.The tracks are simple at the same time provocative and brings to life the pain and sufferings endured by Henry in the french penal settlements.The music can become at times very dark and sullen, that might make more sense in the movie. But the soundtrack does make a standalone statement and Jerry goldsmith proves that he is the king of orchestra and melody. In summary, this soundtrack will give you a totally new listening experience that will force you to think inwards and ponder about the very meaning of human existence. Advice: if you want to add a unique and a rare piece of music to your collection..then go for it."
