Guy Maddin's Brand Upon The Brain (soundtrack) by Jason Staczek $9.99
Review #9 on the Manohla Dargis list of top films of 2006—Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Product Description
Guy Maddin s BRAND UPON THE BRAIN! premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival as an Official Selection with a spectacular live accompaniment by an orchestra conducted by the music s composer Jason Staczek, narrator, two onstage foley artists and castrato singer. Equal parts childhood reminiscence, expressionist horror movie, teen detective serial and Grand Guignol reverie, BRAND UPON THE BRAIN! is a grand silent movie event custom conceived for the pomp and ceremony of a grand movie-palace. This exhilarating exercise in stretching film vocabulary to its limits represents Guy Maddin s work at its paradoxically most sophisticated and incautious. It is matched to an adventurous and imaginative orchestral soundtrack composed by Jason Staczek.
