Notes: Much in-demand soundtrack to the Quay Brothers film Institute Benjamenta, by the Polish composer Lech Jankowski. This CD has been released by the film's producer on a very limited mail order-only basis and these are the first copies to be more widely distributed. "Original Soundtrack Recording to recent (1995) Brothers Quay film Institute Benjamenta" their first full-length live-action film (they are known mostly for their groundbreaking animated films such as Street of Crocodiles and The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer, involving 'fantastic decor and Kafkaesque puppets' as well as for collaborating on Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' music video), concerning itself with the titled 'school for domestics' & its faculty/enrolled parties. Lech Jankowski's music switches gears from VERY austere acoustic-jazz settings to eastern European themes & occasional (limited) free-jazz/chamber squeal/scratch, a pleasing set of pieces not far from the tonal universe used in the films of Tarkovsky (a noted influence on the visual appeal of the Brothers Quay). An intriguing lot of sound which stands well on it's own as an emotional centerpiece. Sussed." -- Hrvatski. ........................................................................ Review from: http://www.kemptown.co.uk/freerad/benjamenta.htm I read somewhere that Lech Jankowski was originally against the idea of a separate release for his soundtrack to the film 'Institute Benjamenta'. I fear then that my reviewing it purely on its own merits, just may be his worst case scenario. He needn't have worried though as having not yet seen the film. I'd have to say that if 'Institute Benjamenta' contains a fifth of the emotion and atmosphere of its soundtrack then viewers will be in for a deeply moving experience. It would be pointless of me to try to deal with this CD track by track. Better if I try to give you an overall feel for the piece. The instrumentation largly consists of double bass, violin, piano and various wind instruments. These come together in different combinations to create a succession of varying moodswings. This soundtrack invokes lots of emotions juxtaposed. Feelings of sadness and beauty, of melancoly and joyfulness. I can't help feeling that this music can only have been composed by an East European. It simply reeks of those roots. Somewhat Neo-classical, somewhat jazz, sometimes folk, sometimes theatre. But always with that East European sensibilty. A slant that makes it somewhat unsettling to the western ear. Which can only add to the movies' tension. Except that now I'm only guessing. Which brings me to my final point. As I've already said Jankowski was originally openly against this soundtrack being separately released. But I suspect The Quay Brothers (the filmmakers) fully realised that with Jankowski's soundtrack being so deeply evocative, anyone hearing it would simply have to seek out and see the film. Which I for one will be doing at the first opportunity. *********************************** FREAKYFLICKS ***************************** FreakyFlicks is a free and open community dedicated to preserving and sharing cinematic art in the digital era.
