Accordeur de tremblements de terre, L' (France)
The Pianotuner of Earthquakes tells the story of Malvina van Stille (Amira Casar), an opera singer who is abducted by the diabolical Dr. Emmanuel Droz (Gottfried John) just before her marriage with composer Adolfo Blin (Cesar Sarachu). Malvina is taken to the doctor's mansion in Azucena. He is a brain surgeon who wants to perform an unspeakable act on Malvina. Directed by the award-winning Quay Brothers (Institute Benjamenta) and executively produced by Terry Gilliam (12 Monkeys, Brazil, The Fisher King), The Pianotuner of Earthquakes features music composed by up and coming UK composer Christopher Slaski, whose other scores include "Beyond the Sea" for Kevin Spacey and the Spanish "Semen: Una historia de amor." Evoking the sureeal atmosphere of the film, his original score is both frighteningly beautiful - and beautifully frightening! The eclectic score uses Antonio Vivaldi's beautiful "Nisi Dominus" as its main theme, while selections from the late British composer Trevor Duncan's "The Unwanted" suite is used to a dreamlike effect.
