I consider Barbarella to be a masterpiece, both the film and the score by Bob Crewe & Charles Fox. Check out this killer track from the soundtrack, "Pygar's Persecution" and "The Black Queen's Beads." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I like Barbarella a lot as well. . . but it's because of Jane at the height of her loveliness. And that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've heard the music in the film. It's okay. . . not KILLER. . . for me. We're all different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) There was an excellent documentary on Vadim on French/German arte tv recently - his work was a mixed bag and he obviously did not have a dedicated cinematic vision like his contemporaries; but he was open to experiments and cleared the path for many things to come in French cinema. He started the career of several famous French actresses. Edited March 26, 2017 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think "Les Liaisons" holds up well beyond the music, the acting is often stiff, the dialogues and characters are more like types roughly drafted on a sheet of paper than real characters. But the music is great! Niko's list on the last page doesn't mention Blakey, I guess as it's too obvious - but with the Jordan, Blakey and Monk contributions, I expect plenty of music not used in the film to be on this new release. However, I hope it'll be some real tunes and not just short cues and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 That was one of the conclusions of the doucumentary, too - but what what would cinema be without Bardot or Deneuve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
