Rating: The symbiosis and fusion between the violin of Itzhak Perlman and the cello of Yo-Yo Ma seem to soar in an absolute movement, aiming to transcend pure and mediocre materiality.
A soundtrack that, like the film, reconstructs the atmospheres and souls of a world increasingly lost, overwhelmed by the horrors of reality, such as war, senseless technology.
Dreamlike music, perhaps typical of films of this kind, but, in my opinion, they have a different accent.
Beyond the magic, the wonder, the curiosity and the Western incredulity and its hostility in understanding this culture (particularly the world of fascinating geishas), in the music of the great John Williams, along with the aforementioned complicity between viola and cello, there is also nostalgia for an authentic spiritual purity.
There is melancholy in some tracks like "The Journey to Hamanachi" and "A new name… A new life…," and there is also much resignation towards a world that once was, a world no longer suited to modernity, but which precisely because of it becomes increasingly fascinating, like the poetic and chilling music that in every movement represents the eastern essence… Love for a world, a universe far away in time and space emerges…
To listen to and fall in love with…
