Rabbit-Proof Fence/Peter Gabriel

Fantastic movie with equally astonishing score by Peter Gabriel. The whole thing reverberates with taste. The DVD has the novelty of an actually telling commentary with Mr. Gabriel chipping in about his sparse but brilliant music.

 

My wife and I watched this movie with our 10-year-old daughter. It was a very emotional and powerful film. Did you notice that some of the end credit music (choral piece) was excerpted from a song on "Up"? I didn't notice if any of the incidental music was also from "Up."

 

I believe the choral music in the S/T was the Blind Boys of Alabama, who opened for PG last year and appear on the 'UP' song 'Sky Blue' ...

 

Yeah.
The blind boys from alabama have been a regular at the Byron Bay Blues festival for a few years now.Down in OZ.

Sorry ,I can't put links up at the moment.

 

I noticed Sky Blue in the score, too, but I think I did read that the song came from musical ideas in a soundtrack.

An enjoyable movie, telling the kind of story that needs to be told.

I didn't even know about the film until I happened to see it while browsing the racks at my local rental shop. Kenneth Branagh, Peter Gabriel- how could I not watch it?
