Jonny Greenwood
Phantom Thread
NONESUCH
the radiohead man’s score to Paul Thomas Anderson’s opus is a thing of pitch perfect beauty, with opulent, playful piano configurations acting as playful counterpoint to an underlying sense of unease.
the hacks on the film award boards are right with this one, Anderson and Greenwood gaining plaudits for their symbiotic style of collaboration. the director reputedly inverts the composer-director relationship with greenwood, often letting his scenes be dictated by the movement of the music. and what music, dramatic yet light, decorative yet ambient – deeply evocative stuff. “From strikingly, golden age like elegant to feverishly agitated, the music that Jonny Greenwood wrote for “Phantom thread” rattles me from beginning to end and pulls me inside a complex story with a complex character” 10/10 – soundtrack dreams
