│ Under the Tuscan Sun is the kind of film which begs for Hannah Gordon (a │
│ cross between Judith Chalmers and fabric conditioner) and three │
│ pensioners to appear at regular intervals painting watercolours of the │
│ lovely countryside, a bit like the comedy squirrel in Ice Age. │
│ Unfortunately, no reviews seem to mention Miss Gordon turning up at any │
│ point in this story of a woman (Diane Lane) getting her life back on │
│ track by moving to Tuscany and doing up an old villa. Sounds a bit like │
│ a cross between A Year in Provence, Wife Swap and Escape to the Country │
│ to me. Composer Christophe Beck is undoubtedly best known for his work │
│ on the Buffy TV series, but since its demise has been carving out a name │
│ in feature film scoring, this being one of his numerous entries this │
│ year and fortunately is about as far from Buffy as you can get. I can │
│ imagine the scenario now, "...ah, you're the Buffy guy - right, horror │
│ films until you expire. Go join the queue marked 'Marco Beltrami.'" │
│ │
│ Beck's music is probably most easily described as Thomas Newman Goes │
│ Fellini, certainly from the opening moments of Follow the Flower where │
│ ethereal strings give way to a perky guitar and light percussion riff, │
│ ostensibly the main theme. Director Audrey Wells, in her brief liner │
│ note, mentions wanting a modern idea for the lead character, but also a │
│ hint of Rota and some comic/romantic music as an expression of Italian │
│ life, although I'd have thought that the former is often exactly the │
│ latter. In any case, the homage to Rota is fairly slight, but there is a │
│ cheerful breeziness that one could easily imagine listening to while │
│ driving around in a clapped out Fiat. Beck seems careful not to overdo │
│ the comedy, something which can spoil authentic Italian scores (certain │
│ Nicola Piovani efforts, for example) and while it rarely becomes heavy │
│ or maudlin, neither is it silly. The drama is distinctly low key and │
│ favours gentle strings and Newmanesque piano motifs, but tracks such as │
│ Polonia carry enough emotional weight to counteract the froth. │
│ │
│ Given how small the ensemble is for much of the running time, it is │
│ curious to note that Under the Tuscan Sun lists the names of the 80-odd │
│ piece orchestra. For the few tracks that feature more than a few named │
│ soloists, surely a small chamber orchestra of a dozen strings and a │
│ handful of woodwind would suffice? Maybe Hollywood composers just like │
│ to spend all of their budget lest it be reduced in future, but the │
│ number of players hired for this and many other scores is almost certain │
│ overkill. Anyway, for all that, Under the Tuscan Sun is the kind of │
│ score that can be left on in the background to lighten the mood and │
│ doesn't require any careful concentration from the listener. There's │
│ nothing much new here, but in following the Thomas Newman lead (with a │
│ hint of Rota), Beck manages to contribute a score that is generally │
│ upbeat and lovely, but without becoming bogged down in maudlin, sugar │
│ coated string melodies that overwhelm the entire enterprise, plus │
│ maintaining the careful balance between remaining low key while keeping │
│ the ball rolling. Charming fluff. │
│ │
│ Enjoy another GREAT release from SRN!!! │
