Editorial Review:
After his successful collaborations on Quiz Show and A River Runs Through It, composer Mark Isham has created a third score for director Robert Redford. Freed from the restraints of either the historical or the pastoral, Isham has delivered a dense score that manages to be both dramatic and thoughtful - the perfect combination for Redford's liberal drama about the war in Iraq. Weaving spare lyrical strings with propulsive electronic percussion, the sometime New Age Windham Hill artist combines strong themes with warm colours and layered textures to produce a dynamic action score with emotional heft - a bold contrast to his recent atmospheric score for Paul Haggis's similarly talky war-in-Iraq-themed In the Valley of Elah. With the release of two more new Isham scores (Gracie and Reservation Road by year's end), a bumper 2007 finds the maverick scorer tackling the mainstream with wit and heart. JOCELYN CLARKE
Robert Redford, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise star in Lions for Lambs, a powerful and gripping story that digs behind the news, the politics and a nation divided to explore the human consequences of a complicated war.
Directed by Academy Award winner Robert Redford, the story begins after Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Peña), two determined students at a West Coast university, follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley (Redford), and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught....
The powerful original score for Lions for Lambs reunites Mark Isham (Crash, The Cooler, A River Runs Through It) with director Robert Redford. The two previously worked together on 1992's A River Runs Through It.
One of the most prestigious films of the year, Lions for Lambs is sure to be a major awards contender in all categories.
