Four Friends was written, produced and conducted by Ennio Morricone for the soundtrack to Brian De Palma's The Untouchables. Long-term readers will probably know that I love everything about that film. You may also recall that, of the four friends this piece is named for, only two make it out of the story alive.
It's a beautiful, beautiful, achingly sad piece.
Saw this film a while back for the first time in ages- holds up pretty well
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it? Has some great set pieces, and Morricone's score really adds to it, I reckon.
DeleteIt is indeed a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteI did see the film when it came out but I was on a training course for my job at the time, staying in Oxford with a male colleague I barely knew, and in a job I'd only just started, and we went to the cinema together just for something to do the first evening. I couldn't help feeling distracted all the way through the film because I was so out of my comfort zone at the time, and therefore remember very little about it!
I recommend watching it again.
