Description
Let's put aside the Parmalat, the news and the disastrous fruits of creative finance: the soundtrack written by Teho Teardo for Il Gioiellino (The Jewel), Andrea Molaioli's film inspired by the failure of the famous food company of Colecchio (which becomes Leda in the film ), has a devastating expressive autonomy and a wealth of ideas and voices rare in the field of film music and more. The strong musical personality, never enslaved by the logic of the commentary, is the constant quality of the scores composed by Teardo for the cinema, and it is curious that this violence is expressed precisely in the film because, the pieces hit the images with accuracy and simplicity. If this spectrum of emotions and concepts is so clear, it is above all thanks to the presence of music. Yet, there is more. There is something that touches the experience of listening to a soundtrack. At grade zero, the pieces used in a film should at least be diligently and pleasantly side-by-side with framing and editing; on the contrary, when the summit is reached, music is a means of staging and gives form to the cinematographic sense, in a more or less exciting way, more or less codified, more or less creative. Watch the film and the story works deeply on you through the music. The strings remain (Alexander Balanescu on violin and Martina Bertoni on cello), poignant and sometimes very harsh, those intertwined sounds that grow with each listening and appear more and more tense, lacerating, beautiful and obsessive in an almost unbearable way. Difficult to find appropriate adjectives in front of a work of such charm. The song of the end credits in particular, "I'm Gonna Live Anyhow Until I Die", follows a development so articulated, with a central part made by bows absolutely bewitching, solid and complete, in able to evoke suggestions far removed from the film and the milk bottles. Excellent soundtrack, yes, but above all an extraordinary record, this little gem .
