Reviews
"...Carter Burwell's frisky score, with its
inventive orchestrations and strong sense of movement, is a big
plus." - Todd McCarthy, Variety, Sept. 5, 2006.
"... Di grande interesse la partitura musicale
dissonante di Carter Burwell, già compositore per i fratelli
Coen." - Maurizio Imbriale, Tempi Moderni, October, 2006.
"... The low-key score by Carter Burwell is
lovely and evocative." - Claudia Pulig, USA Today, Nov. 10,
2006.
"... 'Fur' will also garner attention for spectacular
cinematography by Bill Pope (he did the 'Matrix' movies) and an
unbelievably good jazz score by Carter Burwell. I want the soundtrack
now!" - Roger Friedman, Fox News, Sept. 29, 2006.
"... The general atmosphere is Gothic in the
style of Twin Peaks: Fetishized freaks are tossed here and there
for accent, like throw pillows, while a relentless score by Carter
Burwell keeps reminding us how to feel about each moment: Spooked!
Tender! Erotically transported!" - Dana Stevens, Slate.com,
Nov. 10, 2006.
"... Burwell continues to explore interesting
keys and modes, utilizing a bare-bones ensemble to craft a peculiar
sound that is strikingly original yet immensely approachable and
entertaining. Like Gods and Monsters, it balances feelings of joy
and sadness, but is not as lyrical and absorbing as the former.
Still, it confirms that Burwell is, indeed, a highly innovative
craftsman in the field of film scoring with a voice of his own,
and Fur is recommended to anyone willing to step out of John Williams'
footsteps for a solid and inventive 45 minutes." - Jonathan
Jarry, Soundtrack.net, Dec. 18, 2006. |
Carter's
Notes
Sub-titled "An Imaginary Portrait of Diane
Arbus," the film focuses on the months during which Arbus,
played by Nicole Kidman, dramatically shifts from being an assistant
to her husband and mother to two children, to taking some of the
most striking photos of the late 20th century.
Rather than purporting to dramatize the facts of
her life, the film portrays her psychological metamorphosis in
subjective and metaphorical terms.
