Classic Movie Soundtracks

Sometimes, music captures a fleeting moment more fully than images ever could. The piano theme from Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence suspends time, drifting through the gunpowder-scented air of Java. Takeshi Kobayashi’s lush symphonies send the Swallowtail Butterfly fluttering, while a mysterious chanteuse hums the blurred lines between reality and youth. In Maborosi, guitar and erhu compose a haunting melancholy. Hop aboard Giloo’s time machine, built from melody and memory, and return to every moment that once moved you.
