Robert Townson at Varese is a huge fan of film music and has really done a lot to educate audiences about film music and scores.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Film music has a great history of composers and performers.
I have tremendous respect for film composers.
There are so few directors who are musical who appreciate music.
The people who do the scoring and the music for movies are very talented, really special people.
Seeing the work of directors like Romeo Castellucci, Ivo van Hove, Thomas Ostermeier, and Simon McBurney and Theatre de Complicite, was, and continues to be, hugely important to me. To my mind, these are artists who are forging new languages of performance and storytelling, and their constant reinvention is very inspiring.
One of things I'd love to do one day is a Shakespeare with Trevor Nunn. I've done musicals with him, but never Shakespeare. There's no one better.
The intelligent use of contemporary music in film has an enormous audience.
Music is a very big part of my preparation as an actor.
So film music is something I absolutely wanna get involved in.
The great composers I worked with along the way, I always felt they were filmmakers more than composers. They would talk about the story rather than the music.
