Maurice

One thing I really loved loved loved about this movie is how central the music is, becase its a worldbuilder. The first scene opens in discussion about music. It’s how Clive and Maurice first connect, and sets their relationship’s tone. Even when they’re just walking or talking, there’s this constant layering of symphonies and orchestras that makes everything feel a bit more dreamy and adds a suspenseful edge to the scene What should all the most to me is that , unlike a lot of other films were classical music is usually used as a soundtrack , this one use it is it to represent the characters (specifically Maurices emotions) through pans and shots that really amplify it. There’s something romantic about it. There’s something soft about it. It’s perfect and it really made me enjoy the film much more than I thought I was going to!!- Madi Alyse
