Ακούμε αποσπάσματα από τη μουσική του Νεοζηλανδού συνθέτη Graeme Revell για την gothic νεο-νουάρ ταινία The Crow (Alex Proyas – 1994). Ο ήρωας, ένας μουσικός που επιστρέφει απο τον τάφο για να εκδικηθεί τη δολοφονία του ιδίου και της αραβωνιαστικιάς του, ενσαρκώνεται απ΄ τον Brandon Lee. Επρόκειτο για την τελευταία ταινία του ηθοποιού, που θα σκοτωνόταν σε δυστύχημα στη διάρκεια των γυρισμάτων της. 🔴 🔴 🔴 We hear excerpts from the New Zealand composer Graeme Revell’ s music for the gothic neo-noir film The Crow (Alex Proyas, 1994). The central character, a musician who returns from the grave to avenge his own murder and that of his fiancée, is played by Brandon Lee. It was the actor’s final film; he was killed in an accident during its shooting.

“The Crow” was a very good movie, with the score contributing to story. I’ve only watched it once, though. It doesn’t seem right to watch it multiple times, knowing that Brandon Lee died during filming.
I liked the film as well, just not enough to see it again — ML’s death aside… I’m not into goth movies aesthetic as I am into that of the corresponding music.
I don’t think I’ve seen any goth movies aside from “The Crow.”
Maybe you’ve seen much of them without realising it : stuff like Bram Stoker’s Dracula (didn’t like it much), Interview with the Vampire (didn’t like it at all), Edward Scissorhands (no Johnny Depp fan here) Sleepy Hollow (1999 – in spite of Depp 😃, that was a good one), Batman Returns (also a good one – Pfeiffer at her best) and so on…
Oh, goodness! I’ve seen all of them but Batman Returns.
As a matter of fact, all Batman movies are “gothic” – supposedly. I remember watching the first of them, in ’89 or something. Despite Tim Burton’s signature, Nicholson’s Joker, and Danny Elfman’s music, I found the whole thing unpleasantly pretentious and overblown. It was clear, needless to say, that it was heading for phenomenal success! 😃 After all, that’s reason I am less drawn to so-called goth cinema than to its musical or literary counterparts : in most cases, blockbuster production negates the inwardness – essential for this genre.
