One of the most underrated films in history.

[@BB-wc9jx]

Loved every minute ❤

[@TheSuperQuail]

Only thing that doesn't stand up is the use of unnecessary CGI such as the motercycle helmet.

[@JabangoCornelius]

Just such a huge shame it was made by a Prado (Roman Polanski)

A call for adventure, the lure of the mysterious, a cautionary tale which equally warns and also fascinates, Wojciech Kilar's masterfully builds in 4 minutes a beautiful tale which leaves us ambivalent to the true nature of danger. The harpsichord sparkles guarded by solemn and unflinching piano chord. We are aware that we are thrust in world that spiritual forces are in motion. It is the sound of an old world knocking back at our doors. Old Europe in its former Baroque decadence , Medieval Europe in all its obsessive pursuit either with the expression of the divine through its cathedrals or morbid fear of a seductive Lucifer. Then comes the voice. Classic, feminine, non threatening but unsettling, strong but not motherly, mysterious but somewhat too familiar. What is this thrill? We listen to the melody which comes to us in waves, relenting, retreating, circling us, caressing us, then leaving us only when we admit not being ready to part with it yet. At first we are not necessarily stricken by an overwhelmingly beautiful melodic device but our defense bow down to its relentless nature. It build and builds and never allows us to breath nor to wonder where it is taking us. By the time we get to the second phase of the Vocalise at 1:30 we are not only eager to give ourselves to the music but we are equally curious. The melody has just changed rising higher and higher. What is happening we ask. Vocalise stands as the musical expression of how even the strongest of us will fall to the seduction of what might even seem simple, banal, unassuming, harmless. It's not its sheer power that finally defeats us. It is its relentless nature that little by little chips away our mental resistance. The bakery on our way to work which after 6 months of smiling at us finally serves the doughnut we once laugh at, this sitcom based on ridiculous premises which grows on us by the 10 episodes. I could be the embrace or the kiss which we never aimed for that once entertained in a moment a levity leave deep roots which blossomed in indestructible obsession. By the time we succumb to the temptation, the true nature of what we've given ourselves to reveals itself fully. at 3:33 the dark change of chord expresses amazingly the realization that we've opened the flood gates, that while we are basking in pleasure we are fully aware that we are signing away ourselves to an unbeatable force. We've been deceived and now suffocating in this fragrant powdery coat of danger we are too weak to say no. We have been deceived and maybe we yearned for that thrill.

so great! I love it! donuts...

[@tumadrepinchependejo]

that was beautiful. I read it as I heard the melody and finished when it ended. Well done

[@BenNortonStarWarsRules]

Holy crap, you should write song reviews for a living. At least, I would pay you.

[@kenwardkgarg]

Bravo, Gérard.

Haunting. 💙💙💙💙💙

[@fernandocajero3273]

I have listened to other singers but no one has ever come close to this performance. It’s like this was made for her.❤❤🎉

[@Pentapus1024]

I LOVE this song. Pure magic and a fitting choice for the end of such a mystical movie. I've seen it so many times. I'll think about it, then put it on just for a nice background mood while I cook or draw, but end up spending more time watching it than not, even though I've seen it at least 100 times. I've never seen a Polanski film I didn't like (granted I haven't seen The Pianist, seems like it'll be preachy) but The Ninth Gate is his best in my opinion. It's beautifully shot, the lighting and locations are are perfect. The cast, the BOOKS, the music... Just the overall mise en scene really captures a particular essence, makes deals with Satan and his crew plausible and awfully tempting. It's even funny. Overall I give it 10/10. No one asked but, there it is.

Escuché esta música en la novela de Montecristo, una novela de Pablo Echarri que emitió por Telefé. Durante años, la estuve buscando hasta que finalmente la encontré

Amazing

[@ms.awkward8827]

Me encantó el libro, amo la película, pero esto es lo mejor.

[@souloftheage]

I heard this soundtrack. Aa a musician, I probably pay more attention to the soundtrack than the average viewer. But I thought "I have heard this before. But where?" Then I realized it sounds so much like Coppolla's Bram Stoker's Dracula. And sure enough Kilar wrote that marvelous soundtrack too. Too bad he wasnt recruited to perhaps be the high point in one of the terrible and recent Star Wars films!?. Kilar has since died. Damn.

[@mimosa27]

I'm the same way! I realized that the sad swamp music in The Neverending Story sounded uncannily similar to the sad music in Scarface. Sure enough... same composer

[@Shirazie]

وَكَم سَلَّيتُ بِالأوهامِ نَفسي وَغَطَّيتُ الحَقيقَةَ بِالخَيالِ خَطَطتُ عَلى الرِّمالِ مُنى فَلَمّا تَطامى السَّيلُ سِلنَ مَعَ الرِّمالِ.

I came here because of aquino cojuangco

[@pazzoredento2191]

Initially intriguing but ultimately just a ludicrous throwaway MacGuffin from Polanski. The soundtrack is its only saving grace.

[@moonbeam9870]

This is beautiful but it is a complete plagiarism of Arno Babajaryan’s Elegy In Memory of Khachaturian.

[@jackhapfli6896]

No.
