What are your favorite scenes or sequences in which music works perfectly at enhancing the quality of the film?
I really liked the final sequence in Fitzcarraldo. I think that “a te o cara” works incredibly well in that particular sequence. It gives some kind of trascendental feel to the whole film. I also enjoyed very much the fog scene in Armacord.
sorry for my mediocre english.
It is both things. It is hyped because it is very good. I think any movie that’s widely consider “the best” will eventually receive it’s fair amount criticism (for lack of a better word) for being overrated. If that argument is valid and every acclaimed movie is overrated then i don’t get the point of making such lists and tops.
Sorry for the bad english.
